For two decades those lectures served as the basis for Nabokov's teaching, first at Wellesley and then at Cornell, as he introduced undergraduates to the delights of great fiction.<br/><br/>This volume collects Nabokov's famous lectures on Western European literature, with analysis and commentary on Charles Dickens's <i>Bleak House</i>, Gustav Flaubert's <i>Madame Bovary</i>, Marcel Proust's <i>The Walk by Swann's Place</i>, Robert Louis Stevenson's "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," and other works. <br/><br/>Edited and with a Foreword by Fredson Bowers.
