Essays by the leading scholars in the field attend to Proust's biography, his huge correspondence, and the genesis and protracted evolution of his masterpiece. Light is cast on Proust's relation to thinkers and artists of his time, and those of the great French and European traditions of which he is now so centrally a part. There is vivid exploration of Proust's reading; his attitudes towards contemporary social and political issues; his relation to journalism, religion, sexuality, science and travel and how these figure in the Recherche. The volume closes with a comprehensive survey of Proust's critical reception, from reviews during his lifetime to the present day, including assessments of Proust in translation and the broader assimilation of his work into twentieth- and twenty-first-century culture"-- OP - 260 CN - PQ2631.R63 Z7225 2013eb SN - 9781107496460 SN - 1107496462 SN - 9781139135023 SN - 1139135023 SN - 9781461950882 SN - 1461950880 SN - 9781107503564 SN - 1107503566 SN - 1107521211 SN - 9781107521216 SN - 1139890921 SN - 9781139890922 SN - 9781107021891 SN - 1107021898 SN - 9781107506206 SN - 1107506204 KW - Proust, Marcel, : 1871-1922 : Criticism and interpretation.
