Zusammenfassung

Englisch

Nabokov’s novel Lolita was published in the middle of the 20th century, almost 70 years ago. In this work, I would like to trace how its critical perception has changed due to the #MeToo phenomenon of the 21st century. Furthermore, this paper explores the literary voices that emerge d in response to Nabokov’s Lolita. Moreover, I am going to delineate and examine in which way modern re-interpretations of Lolita reflect the contemporary perception of trauma and traumatic stress responses. The fact that this story was recently rewritten multiple times from a feminine perspective indicates that this topic is of current interest and relevant for modern readers.
