Student Guide to Marcel Proust (Paperback)

Marcel Proust's novel Remembrance of Things Past has been compared with the plays of Shakespeare in its wonderful range of characters, its penetrating insights into human nature, and its brilliant comedy. It is one of the most memorable books ever written. But it is long and richly structured, and a guide to its themes can be helpful. This is what Derwent May has provided in this book. He writes lucidly and entertainingly, both bringing out Proust's important ideas about art, and showing how they are embedded in a story based on seven large, glamorous and comic parties. This is a slightly revised edition of the book which was first published in the Oxford Past Masters series, and which was hailed at once as a valuable introduction to Proust.
