1 Barbara Eckstein, “Unsquaring the Square of What Maisie Knew ”, in The Turn of the Screw and What Maisie Knew , ed. Neil Cornwell and Maggie Malone (Basingstoke and London: Macmillan, “New Casebooks”, 1998), 179-93, writes: “ Lolita is surely a burlesque of What Maisie Knew and also an exercise in slippery self-parody”, at p. 190. On Nabokov and James, see Gregory (1984); plus Neil Cornwell, “Paintings, Governesses and ‘Publishing Scoundrels’: Nabokov and Henry James, Nabokov’s World. Volume 2: Reading Nabokov , ed. Jane Grayson, Arnold McMillin and Priscilla Meyer (Basingstoke and New York: Palgrave, 2002), 96-116.

2 Rayfield (1984), 74.

3 Ibid. 141.

4 Nabokov, Sobranie sochinenii (Moscow, 1990), 4, 250; see also Rayfield, 140. Dolinin (1993) adds a story by a minor émigré writer named Valentin Samsonov as another possible source; see also Ernest Machen’s letter in TLS (27 November, 1998), 17.

5 See Olsen (1995), 16-25, for one recent account. On reactions at Cornell to Lolita , see Diment (1997) passim (but especially pp. 60-8 and 141-6).

6 See Appel’s notes to The Annotated Lolita ( L ) . Proffer (1968), 21-3, lists over 60 names. Further notes have been supplied by Brian Boyd in Novels 1955-1962 (1996), 873-91.

7 See Meyer (1988), 13-38, on Pushkin ( Lolita and Onegin ); other Russian writers (including Tolstoy and Lermontov) may also be discerned; the use made of numbers may derive from Pushkin ( The Queen of Spades ), and the attention to names from Gogol.
