(On) Anton Chekhov Ben Dhooge Nabokov and 'Other Re
On an Unhappy Marriage, Henry James, and Atoms: Vladimir Nabokov Reading (on) Anton Chekhov Ben Dhooge Nabokov’s lecture on Anton Chekhov stands out for its numerous citations from Korney Chukovsky’s 1947 article ‘Friend Chekhov.’ At the same time, however, the lecture contains many more references to other critics, as well – some of them explicit, though not necessarily clear, others more concealed. In an attempt to trace the sources Nabokov used when drafting his Chekhov lecture, the article offers a concrete view of Nabokov’s critical laboratory. Additionally, the article sheds light on his relation to other critics and critical movements, more specifically with respect to the competing ‘tendencies’ at work in the canonization of Chekhov’s oeuvre during the interwar period: Russian émigré, Soviet, and Anglo-American. Nabokov and ‘other readers’ In his Lectures on Russian Literature, Vladimir Nabokov emerges not only as a reader of literature as such – and, by extension, as a teacher of literature – but also as a reader of critical writings on literature. Nabokov frequently refers to other ‘readers’ in the broadest sense of the word, i.e. to critics (writers, literary critics, and scholars) as well as to the common reader who, unlike the former, does not take pen in hand. Sometimes Nabokov names, cites, or refers to specific ‘readers’ who commented on the writer whose work is central to the lecture in question. More often, however, Nabokov refers to reactions and opinions of ‘readers’ without specifying whom they exactly belong to. He lumps individual ‘readers’ together, giving them collective names such as ‘Russian readers and critics,’ ‘socially-minded Russian critics,’ or ‘Freudian-minded explorers.’ More importantly, the different opinions of other ‘readers’ which Nabokov includes in his lectures are meaningful elements in the structure of his argumentation. -

Writing a New Self and Creating a Sense for Emotional Belonging: the Case of Nadezhda Teffi, a Russian Writer in Interwar Paris
Writing A New Self and Creating a Sense for Emotional Belonging: The Case of Nadezhda Teffi, a Russian Writer in Interwar Paris Natalia Starostina, Young Harris College When considering the great upheavals of twentieth-century European history, the experience of Russian émigrés in interwar France may strike the historian as a dramatic, sudden, and deep change in luck.1 Many Russian émigrés who ended up on the shores of the Seine after 1917 were the members of the Russian intellectual and political elites who had enjoyed the life of prestige, wealth, refined social and cultural opportunities in tsarist Russia. For many Russian émigrés, life as they knew it was turned upside down when they left Russia. They had to begin their life anew, to rebuild their identities, and to reinvent the self. The experience of women émigrés was especially difficult. Many women had lost their relatives and husbands during the First World War and the Russian Civil War, and many needed to 1 Héléne Menegaldo, Les Russes à Paris: 1919-1939 (Paris: Autrement, 1998) and “L’émigré russe en ses divers avatars,” in Figures de l’émigré russe en France au XIXe et XXe siècle.

Precursors of Lolita: the Adolescent and His/Her Sexualized Body in Russian Erotic Writing of the Silver Age and in Emigration
Alexei Lalo Precursors of Lolita: The Adolescent and his/her Sexualized Body in Russian Erotic Writing of the Silver Age and in Emigration Louis Malle’s 1978 flm Prety Baby, starring Brooke Shields, Keith Carradine and Susan Sarandon, set in a New Orleans bro thel in 1917 during the last few months of legal prostitution, tells a love story of Violet, a 13yearold budding prostitute, and Bel locq, a young photographer, perhaps in his early thirties. When the flm came out, it caused a scandal in the US mainly due to Brooke Shields’ (who was 12 at the time) full nudity, but also be cause of its lurid main theme: adolescent sexuality and a sexual re lationship between a pubescent girl and an adult man. The shock value of the flm was enhanced by the French director’s noticeable “estrangement” in his manner of presenting the events, without really condemning such horrifying societal sores as child prostitu tion and sex with minors. However, Malle did not seem to glorify these phenomena either.1 © Alexei Lalo, 2011 http://www.utoronto.ca/tsq 1 Daring flms and literary works like Malle’s Prety Baby or Vladimir Nabokov’s novel Lolita (1955) shock their audiences on both sides of the Atlantic by crossing the lines of the permissible in morallegal terms and thus in many ways anticipate contemporaneous/subsequent studies of sexualities providing our deeper understanding of sexual attraction and allowing for certain addi tional possibilities whenever two consenting partners fnd themselves passion ately attracted to one another. Malle’s flm and Nabokov’s novel thus arguably raise the cultural weight of cinema/literature as they enrich the public’s aware ness of such controversial social phenomena as a possibility of consensual rela tionships whenever one of the partners happens to be considerably younger 27 Prior to Malle’s flm, the theme of adolescent sexuality and of a sexual relationship between a pubescent teenager and an adult had been explored by Vladimir Nabokov’s novel Lolita and Stanley Kubrick’s flm of the same name. -
