MATTHEW ROTH is Professor of English and Creative Writing at Messiah University, in Grantham, Pennsylvania. His scholarly work has been largely focused on Nabokov, specifically Pale Fire.

Other recent essays on Pale Fire include a comprehensive review of the holograph manuscript, a new contribution to the authorship question, and a reappraisal of Hazel Shade’s role in the novel. In addition to his work on Nabokov, he is the author of a volume of poems, Bird Silence, published by the Woodley Press (2009).
