Pushkin’ on with a new set of draft pages for the revised and updated bibliography: Eugene Onegin, Nabokov’s monumental four-volume translation with commentary and apparatus of Alexandr Pushkin’s novel in verse. It was first (and as far as Nabokov was concerned, finally, after years searching for a publisher and production delays) published by the Bollingen Foundation in 1964. The publication precipitated a literary controversy between Nabokov and his old friend, Edmund Wilson, in 1965 when Wilson published a disparaging review in The New York Review of Books. Nabokov’s revised version was published by Princeton University Press in 1975. It is A37 in the 1986 bibliography.

I have a set that seems to be the US edition (state b) but in a slipcase that has an additional printed sticker for Routledge and a loosely-inserted translator’s note. Is this simply a U.S. set wrongly placed in a UK slipcase?
-
This is interesting. Could I get a photo of the slipcase? Is it the same as the 1964 Bollingen American edition, except for the Routledge sticker? Or might it be a custom-made case? And that translator’s note: Is it a detached page from one of the volumes? Could I get a photo of that too? Thanks for letting me know.

I don’t see the 1963 limited edition of Notes on Prosody, published by Bollingen.
-
It is A36. Even though it was extracted from appendix two of the forthcoming Eugene Onegin, it was issued in April 1963 before the full four-volume edition was issued in June 1964 and therefore stands alone.
