Because Nabokov's 1940s seminal work on blue butterflies (\"blues\") of the world was not continued by others until the 1990s, the breadth of his accomplishments has only been recently recognized. Nabokov was a pioneer anatomist, originating many now standard anatomical terms and methods. He was one of the first lepidopterists to study the entire genital apparatus of butterflies in both sexes, to consider North American butterflies in terms of worldwide relationships, to argue for a balanced biological and morphological species definition, to seek a genealogical approach to classification, to stress the importance of life cycle and ecological studies in evaluating species, and to opine that biogeographic assumptions of his day seemed unsupported by anatomical studies of blues. All Nabokov's taxonomic works reflect these interests and expertise but his seminal studies of Latin American blues, where he contributed nearly the entire classification still used today, are the hallmark of his achievement. Modern DNA studies of North American blues support Nabokov's conclusions; DNA studies of his Latin American blues are in progress. Future interest in Nabokov's scientific work will most likely focus on assessing his theoretical and philosophical views and appreciating the multidisciplinary element of his intellect.","PeriodicalId":110136,"journal":{"name":"Nabokov Studies","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123717782","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

But one can't help but wonder if they belong in an introductory study, aimed in part at giving new readers an entree into the mainstream understanding of the novelist and his novels. Third, and finally, Sharpe, like virtually all other Nabokovian commentators, is unable to resist the temptation to occasionally imitate the style of his subject. Much of the style of Vladimir Nabokov is clear and appropriate, and Sharpe is a healthy long way from the pseudo-Nabokovianisms of some of his predecessors. Still, at times, one wants to suggest leaving Nabokov's style to Nabokov. For example, it really isn't necessary to begin the study with a sentence about Nabokov's death, and to conclude the book with one on his birth. This was clever when Nabokov did it in his biography of Gogol, a bit cute the first time or two a critic tried it, and now just seems unnecessary. Or, when discussing John Shade's physical appearance, Professor Sharpe probably did not need to add the following footnote (cited in its entirety: \"I am struck by the similarity between this and the tribute of a recent biographer-obituarist recalling his first meeting with his future subject: 'Even then he was not slim, yet he carried about him an atmosphere of thinness' ( 7he Independent, Thursday 4 April 1991, p. 3)\" (91). Or this item from the Bibliography: \"There is much more written on Nabokov than is worth reading (with Kinbotian modesty I leave my reader to pass appropriate judgement on this book)...\" (112). These games are fun; most of us would not be the partisans of Nabokov if we did not enjoy them; still, the place for Kinbote is in Pale Fire, not in criticism of Pale Fire: the temptation should be resisted a bit more stoutly than Professor Sharpe manages. These are relatively small quibbles, indeed, and they do little to mar a useful book. Tony Sharpe's Vladimir Nabokov is a study which will be an appropriate door and eye opener for the beginner, and a stimulating discussion for the more experienced. To have accomplished either of these objectives is admirable, to have achieved both is impressive.","PeriodicalId":110136,"journal":{"name":"Nabokov Studies","volume":"77 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128594054","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nor has it always been the case in the West. Nabokov's Ada: the name, the title, is palindromic, reading the same backwards and forwards. Is it possible to read a novel 'backwards'? Is it possible to reverse the direction of time? If one attends closely to Nabokov, the answer to both questions may be yes. To interpret the novel Ada means to find a way to read it which is complementary to the virtuosic exemplarity of its form. The only way to read Ada's apparently circular nanative, as the nanator suggests in the opening chapter, is to 're-read' (19) (the verb 'reread' occurs far more often in the text than 'read'). To reread is of course not to read backwards but to interpret, to engage in a memory-work: the narrator claims to be 'reminding' the 'rereader'Â—which is only logicalÂ—to look backwards while reading forwards. 'Rereading' describes a general approach to nanative fiction, but Ada in 1969 set a new standard in the degree and complexity of its proleptic, retroleptic, 'incestuous' intratextuality1Â—and not merely intratextual: to read Ada is to","PeriodicalId":110136,"journal":{"name":"Nabokov Studies","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128874375","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
