Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

"An ambitious study, the fruit of sustained work over many
years. Professor Carter's book deploys a stunning knowledge of
Proust and places Carter among the first line of Proust scholars in
the country."
--Roger Shattuck, Boston University
"The Proustian Quest" is the first full-length study that
explores the influence of social change on Proust's vision. "In
Remembrance of Things Past," Proust describes how the machines of
transportation and communication transformed fashion, social mores,
time-space perception, and the understanding of the laws of nature.
Concentrating on the motif of speed, Carter establishes the
centrality of the modern world to the novel's main themes and
produces a far- reaching synthesis that demonstrates the work's
profound structural unity.
