Query: "A Forgotten Poet" Double? (fwd)
Date
Body
The Spring 1989 issue of THE NABOKOVIAN includes a bibliographic reference
to a work by VN entitled "A Forgotten Poet," printed in a 1988 issue of
the Russian serial, SMENA (vol. 88). The reference does not make clear
whether this item is a translation of the 1944 story (written in English),
or some other (presumably earlier) work (a poem perhaps?). I have ordered
the item through ILL, but in the meantime, is there anyone who has
actually seen this piece and can tell me something about it? I am
currently working on an essay on the English story of the same name (which
is due at the end of January), and therefore would be very interested in
any information that could be dredged up regarding its apparent double.
