Nabokov, Vladimir (1899-1977): Russian-born American
novelist, essayist, and professor of literature. In his course “Masters of
European Fiction” at Cornell University, Nabokov, at the suggestion of
Edmund Wilson, included Bleak House as one of the texts. His lecture
structure, themes, and style are included in his Lectures on Literature
(1980), edited by Fredson Bowers and published after Nabokov’s
death.
