The Cambridge Introduction to Marcel Proust by Adam Watt

The Cambridge Introduction to Marcel Proust by Adam Watt

Informative coverage of Proust's life, the social and cultural contexts of his work and a volume-by-volume study of In Search of Lost Time, as well as chapters on the novel's critical reception and its afterlives in contemporary culture.

'Watt creates a successful guidebook for new and hesitant readers of the Recherche … [He] shares with his reader what, in the end, is the true secret of Proust's novel: for its great length and difficulty, the Recherche holds the promise of being an inexhaustible source of pleasure' H-France Review
'Watt manages to make a difference with his fresh overview of Proust reception beyond literary scholarship and his focus on highlighting the richness of the Search beyond the well-known stereotypes of madeleine and memory. One of his most commendable achievements in this respect is the attention to the text's linguistic quality.' Modern & Contemporary France
