Outline of Final Research Achievements |
I visited and researched some archives in the United States--Houghton Library at Harvard University, Institute Archive at MIT, Harry Ransom Center at The University of Texas at Austin, and the Manuscript Division at Library of Congress. I made lists of the papers which the archives hold and find some facts about the relationship between Nabokov and James Laughlin, the founder of New Directions. Finally, I have presented a paper "Nabokov and Laughlin" in the annual convention of Nabokov Society of Japan in 2015.
