Abstract：Abstract: Vladimir Nabokov, who was deeply influenced by romanticist literature, developed a strong romanticist complex in his literary creation. Nabokov’s fictional works can be classified as theoretical fiction, which is closely related to his romanticist complex. This paper, by referring to the notion of “theoretical fiction” of the narratology of structuralism and by analyzing his criticism of the romanticist literature within the text, explores his romanticist literary complex for the purpose of a further confirmation of his contribution to contemporary novel writing.
