Dear Colleagues,
I am sorry to admit to having joined this list to ask about a possible
plagiarism. As the consequences are of some larger import to my
institution, I hope you will excuse the interruption. From a paper which
contains various passages that have been identified as available over the
internet, I am interested particularly in two which we have not located.
If anyone can identify the source for either, I would be most grateful for
your private reply:
1) "Nabokov's choice of poly-vocal narration in _Pale Fire_ is on one
level to challenge the reader to interpret the text without a concrete
sense of cohesiveness."
2) "Nabokov defiantly goes against all of the preconceived expectations of
a novel in _Pale Fire_ to signal to his reader the dangers of only
accepting a literary work, which has been constructed using the same
methods of previous texts."
Very much obliged for any assistance!
Nelson Hilton
