The Cambridge Companion to Proust by Richard Bales
The Cambridge Companion to Proust provides a broad account of the major features of Marcel Proust's great work A la recherche du temps perdu (1913-1927). The specially commissioned essays, by acknowledged experts on Proust, address a wide range of issues relating to his work. Progressing from background and biographical material, the chapters investigate such essential areas as the composition of the novel, its social dimension, the language in which it is couched, its intellectual parameters and its humor.
'We are provided with a series of closely analysed descriptions, full of allusive and alliterative phrases with a music of their own' Modern Language Review
