Growing Up Sexually(Bibliographies)

29/Lolita Studies

Main Index®Index Volume 3 ® Bibliography 29

Compiler’s Notes:

Beside a department within Nabokov studies, Lolita embodies (does she?) a niche in humaniora’s dealing with a literary genius writing about a major societal preoccupation-to-come. Perversion, innocence, seduction, and corruption are major plots in literature, and a society of criticism and review is sure to articulate itself on the basis of its materials. Paedophilia (or nympholepsy) of course is a cultural story (beside other things). “Lolita” now is part of an all-purpose porn idiom, so that academic musings might seem challenged by a huge quasi-forbidden marketplace of desires, trigger images, and (perhaps) rationalizations. If I google ‘lolita’ today, I get 2.890.000 finds, only some of these will lead to 7,500 pound orcas.

Whole courses have been dedicated to Lolita, e.g. here and here. A literary bibliography on Lolita is part of Vladimir Nabokov, A Bibliography of Criticism by Dieter E. Zimmer (with additions by Jeff Edmunds, revised 7/2004). Also on Zembla’s site, a page on the lolita effect. I should note the bibliography by Prof. Dr. Elisabeth Bronfen’s 2004/5 seminar, as well as a small biblio by Ariella Sobel here. A major event, AATSEEL (American Association of Teachers of Slavic and Eastern European Languages) Annual Meeting, 27-30 December 2003, San Diego, produced a forthcoming book edited by Kuzmanovich, Zoran and Galya Diment. Other monographic efforts unclude those by Pifer’s (2002), Andrews (1999) and Bloom (Ed., 1993). Lolita’s 50^th birthday was recently celebrated. A previous collection of articles is found in Harold Bloom’s 1993 Lolita. The fulltext of the 1955 Lolita (not linked) is found at several places on the web. Please also drop in at Nabokov-L, which features a search option.
