Description

Teaching Nabokov’s Lolita in the #MeToo Era and Online seeks to critique Nabokov’s Lolita from the standpoint of its teachability to undergraduate and graduate students in the twenty first century.

The #MeToo Movement has spurred a reassessment of what constitutes appropriate professional and sexual relations, a reassessment that has challenged how we teach our students, especially when we are studying controversial works.

The time has come to ask - in the #MeToo Era and beyond, how do we approach Nabokov’s inflammatory masterpiece, Lolita?

How do we read a novel that describes an unpardonable crime?

How do we balance analysis of Lolita’s brilliant language and aesthetic complexity with due attention to its troubling content?

This volume offers practical and specific answers to this question and includes suggestions for teaching the novel in conventional and online modalities.

Essays by distinguished Nabokov scholars explore the multilayered nature of Nabokov’s Lolita by sharing innovative assignments and creative-writing exercises, teaching approaches to especially challenging parts of the text, methodologies of teaching the novel through different mediums from film to theatre, and new critical analyses and interpretations.
