Vladimir Nabokov, Recovered

In this talk , Miles Leeson, Senior Lecturer in English Literature at the University of Chichester, will introduce Nabokov’s life and work and claim that, far from being a cause célèbre due to Lolita, his writing should be seen as the equal of Joyce, Woolf, Beckett and other seminal early-to-mid 20th Century writers.
