This is an article intended to denounce and dispel any notions that Vladmir Nabokov himself might be a perverse individual, or a pedophile based on the events of his novel, Lolita. Upon release of the novel, rumors circulated about the man who had written it, however, the writer of this article maintains that fiction is fiction, and certainly Nabokov was not obsessed with young girls like the narrator of his novel.
This can be put to good use in establishing the psychological state of the writer upon creating the plot of Lolita.

Article dealing mainly with censorship issues surrounding the two film adaptations of the novel Lolita by Vladmir Nabokov. Contends that the novel itself is a completely different issue from its adaptations to film.
Could be useful as a description of morality at the time the novel was written, in order to show that the novel certainly strays from the norm of public thought.
Fagan, Peter J. et al. "Pedophilia". JAMA November 2002: 288. p.
This article addresses the risk factors associated with the psychiatric disorder pedophilia, its treatment, and treatment outcomes. It explains that the essential feature of pedophilia is that an individual is sexually attracted exclusively or in part to prepubescent children. The article cites Nabokov's Lolita as an example.
This can be well used in explaining pedophilia as a disease, and how this relates to the novel.
