The Life and
Works of Vladimir Nabokov 
From: The New
York Public Library
Writing in three languages (French, Russian and
English) and on three continents, Vladimir Nabokov enjoyed a career
spanning more than fifty years. In this seminar, the director of The New
York Public Library's Humanities and Social Sciences Library, Rodney
Phillips, and writer Sarah Funke explore Nabokov's public life and
career through his surviving manuscripts, notes, lectures and
photographs. Based on selections from The New York Public Library's
extensive Vladimir Nabokov Archive, this seminar examines Nabokov's
early writings and influences; his experiences with book, magazines and
journal publishing in both Europe and America; and his
"other" careers as a teacher and a lepidopterist.
