Proust's work may sometimes offer a picture of intellectual
confidence. But not enough had previously been said about the
crisis of hypersensitivity in many of Proust's characters. This
1983 book attempted to fill that gap, and as such should interest
all students of Proust. In A la recherche, Proust deliberates on
the separation between the troubled artist and the simple,
sometimes primitive sensibility of others. It is a separation that
many critics have viewed as inevitable. In this book, however, Dr
Hughes shows that Proust is constantly exploring the divide, and
finally succeeds in harmonising simplicity and complexity - in the
unlikely form of music. In this way, several areas of Proust's
novel are brought into prominence that would usually have been
ignored - for example, his nostalgic depictions of animal life.
This book provides a synthesis of these and related experiences: as
such it offers a reappraisal of Proust's view of human awareness.
