Aestheticism, Nabokov, and Lolita

3.6/5 ( ratings)

Drawing distinctions between aestheticism and art for art's sake, allows Andrews to differentiate more precisely between the main character of the 1955 novel and its author. He demonstrates the accuracy of the distinctions by looking at the work of Edgar Allan Poe, Oscar Wilde, and Lent Fiefenstahl as examines of aesthetes. Then he uses it to argue that the central tenet of Nabokov's aestheticism is the anti-interpretive principle, which stresses the free uniqueness of things.
