Outline of Final Research Achievements |
One of the actual achievements of this project was to outline the basic methodology for studying Vladimir Nabokov’s novels in total. Practically speaking, this type of approach, which nowadays is often undervalued and even considered to be out-of-date, can only be substantialised by the simplest act of reading individual works and writing essays treating them one by one, the example of which being the self-imposed mission for the principal investigator (Suzuki) during the past nine or ten years. In fact, thoughtful analyses of details with view of completeness are essentially requisite for self-consciously constructed artefacts such as Nabokov’s oeuvre, and this kind of duality we need must be interpreted as reflecting multiple forms of duality found in Nabokovean texts themselves.
