This volume sets Marcel Proust's masterwork, A la recherche du
temps perdu (In Search of Lost Time, 1913-27), in its cultural and
socio-historical contexts. 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
to 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.
