The book is based on the lecture course “Masters of European Prose”, prepared for students of Cornell University, where the writer taught in the 1940-1950s. On the pages of this volume, Nabokov-class gives his audience an excellent lesson in “close reading” of works by Jane Osten, Charles Dickens, Gustav Flobert, Robert Lewis Stevenson, Franz Kafka, Marseille Proust and James Joyce
