No Symbols Where None Intended - Literary Essays from Laclos to Beckett

An homage to Nabokov's Lectures on Literature, this collection of essays sheds new light on canonical authors such as Ibsen, Beckett, and Strindberg. Using style and structure as the connective thread, Mark Axelrod joins a wide and deep conversation on writers on writing.

Mark Axelrod is a Professor in the Department of Comparative Literature at Chapman University, USA.
