Les 60 ans de Lolita Lolita at 60 Miranda, 15 | 2017 6 Introduction Marie Bouchet, Yannicke Chupin, Agnès Edel-Roy and Julie Loison-Charles 1 It has been over sixty years since Lolita first appeared in its green-clad double volume in 1955 in Paris, published by Maurice Girodias (Olympia Press). During those six decades, the nymphet that Nabokov carved out of American poshlust has made her way through all the clichés of magazines and tabloids, but also through the history of literature and the history of language (one can now look up the noun “lolita” in dictionaries). Lolita has also shaped a very specific way of being a reader, mainly because of its intertextual layering which plays with the stereotypes of Romantic poetry and detective novels, and because of its very unique narrative stance and traps. This way of being a reader has in its turn influenced writers, as can be traced in the novel’s numerous ripples in contemporary literature. 2 Yet, what could one hope to say about Lolita that has not been said in six decades of criticism, annotations and commentaries ? As Brian Boyd states in his 2008 essay “Lolita: What We Know and What We Don’t,” critics have probably not yet unraveled all the threads of the delicate and intricate weave of the text: “There is much, much more we need to learn about Lolita” (Boyd 17). 3 Some light had been shed on the dark zones of the text in the third issue of Miranda1 back in 2010, but following the conference2 and events organized in September 20153 to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Lolita’s publication in Paris, the French Vladimir Nabokov Society invited scholars to provide new readings or elements of research so far unknown or not yet exploited by critics. The essays in this Miranda issue renew our perspective on Lolita through three different angles: history, intertextuality, and literary posterity. The first two essays contextualize the history of Lolita’s publication, so as to contrast it with our context of reception. They are grounded on new research material coming from the archive of the French publishing house Gallimard in Paris, to which Agnès Edel-Roy and Julie Loison-Charles were granted access for the first time. 4 If Nabokov often claimed his indifference to social or political issues, his work has seldom triggered indifference among his contemporaries. In her contribution entitled “Nabokov et la censure” / “Nabokov and censorship,” Julie Loison-Charles envisions the various forms of censorship, whether they be political or moral, endured by Nabokov’s novels, from a renewed perspective. Indeed it is now established that Lolita Miranda, 15 | 2017 7 was “the heroine of all censorships,” according to the novel’s first publisher, Maurice Girodias (Le Monde, July 15, 1977). Loison-Charles shows however that the banishment of Nabokov’s novels is somehow the quintessential form of their relationship to politics, since Nabokov’s works published in Russian as an émigré were forbidden in soviet Russia. Later on, the political censorship in Russia was mirrored by censorship within the émigré community, when the fourth chapter of The Gift was denied publication by Sovremennye Zapiski, because the editors disagreed with Nabokov’s vision of Nikolay Chernychevsky4 in it.
