It explores the many and deep ways in which the works of Shakespeare, the greatest writer of the English language, penetrate the novels of Vladimir Nabokov, one of the finest English prose stylists of the twentieth century. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs a Russian youth, Nabokov read all of Shakespeare, in English. He claimed a shared birthday with the Bard, and some of his most highly regarded novels (\u003ci\u003eLolita, Pale Fire\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eAda\u003c\/i\u003e) are infused with Shakespeare and Shakespeareanisms. Nabokov uses Shakespeare and Shakespeare's works in a surprisingly wide variety of ways, from the most casual references to deep thematic links. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSchuman provides a taxonomy of Nabokov's Shakespeareanisms; a quantitative analysis of Shakespeare in Nabokov; an examination of Nabokov's Russian works, his early English novels, the non-novelistic writings (poetry, criticism, stories), Nabokov's major works, and his final novels; and a discussion of the nature of literary relationships and influence. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith a Foreword by Brian Boyd.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Samuel Schuman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1628922710\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781628922714\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 5.40w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2015 pg. 978","brand":"Samuel Schuman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44058949124351,"sku":"9781628922714","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e85d2294-cd1c-4f2b-b7ea-5e1857b70d98.jpg?v=1685055391","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nabokovs-shakespeare-samuel-schuman-9781628922714","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
