This annotated edition, a revised and considerably expanded version of the 1970 edition, does full justice to the textual riches of Lolita, illuminating the elaborate verbal textures and showing how they contribute to the novel's overall meaning. Alfred Appel, Jr. also provides fresh observations on the novel's artifice, games and verbal patternings, and a delightful biographical vignette of Nabokov. The annotations were prepared in consultation with Nabokov, and newly identified allusions were confirmed by him during the final years of his life.
