In this Readers' Guide, Christine Clegg examines the critical history of Lolita through a broad range of interpretations. Although early criticism of the text polarized around 'that' question - is it literature or pornography? - the influence of American critics such as Lionel Trilling quickly secured canonical status for the novel. A compelling aspect of Lolita criticism is the way in which that question continues to return in different forms. In the 1980s and 1990s, Lolita has been the subject of diverse critical attention, beyond 'Nabokov Studies': from Richard Rorty's philosophical inquiry into the ethics of cruelty, to Rachel Bowlby's feminist analysis of the rhetoric of consumer culture in the novel. All of the main critical approaches to the novel are covered by this indispensable sourcebook.

    Humbert Humbert è con ogni probabilità uno fra i narratori meno affidabili e più divertenti che mi sia mai capitato di incontrare. E poi c'è il tennis. E una postfazione che avercene.

    看了一半，暫時不想看下去了──看著Lolita折磨Humbert Humbert，竟然有點於心不忍。嘿嘿，真是有點不好意思。

    近日學弟學妹們「冒大不韙」在學生報上搞了個情色版，弄得滿城風雨。很抱歉我沒法站在他們那一邊。連「情色」、「色情」也弄混了，更別說「做愛」、「造愛」不分，要「挺」也「挺」不起來。要突破框框，要刺激社會，要發人深省……該先看看《金瓶梅》和Lolita嘛。
