Description
"Solid, thorough, clear-sighted, detailed and revealing. Published in the early 1950s "Proust and Deliverance From Time" is pre-deconstruction, pre-"signs" of Deleuze: a no-nonsense, rigorous treatment of Proust happily stripped of obscurantist philosophising, genetic criticism, "narrative turns" and all that freight of Postmodern mumbo-jumbo which, interesting as it was at the time, happily seems to be fading away, though what replaces it is less...

Description
That Marcel Proust and the theater of his time were not strangers to one another is evident to even the most casual reader of A la recherche du temps perdu. From Mr. Linn's thoroughgoing investigation, however, it is clear that the significance of this remarkable abundance of theatrical and dramatic references, both in Proust's great novel and his other fiction, is far greater than has heretofore been suspected. For Mr. Linn uncovers a very definite...

"Shattuck reveals that Proust must be read as carefully as a detective story, in which every detail becomes a clue to something else. At the same time, every page coruscates with a blend of passion and anxiety over the introduction of strange new elements. Shattuck writes on the ways in which Proust explores character, the false scent of social prestige, existential loss, humor, even memory itself. Finally, Shattuck laments Proust's defenselessness...

"This volume sets Marcel Proust's masterwork, À la recherche du temps perdu (In Search of Lost Time, 1913-27), in its cultural and socio-historical contexts.

Light is cast on Proust's relation to thinkers and artists of his time, and those of the great French and European traditions of which...

Description
"Throughout Proust's life, nine of his short stories remained unseen; the writer never even spoke of them. Perhaps he was not ready to share the early themes he was nurturing for his masterpiece, In Search of Lost Time. Or perhaps, in dealing directly with gay desire, they were too audacious-- too near to life for the censorious society of the time. In these stories, published in English for the first time, we find an intimate portrait of a young...

"Great art discovers for us who we are," writes literature professor and critic Weinstein in this book about how we can better uncover and understand our own stories by reading five major modern writers who "reinvent the novel by exploding our sense of what we are." He invites us to discover our perceptions, our dreams, our own elusive, deepest stories in these masterpieces of modernist fiction. As he argues with wit and passion, these works are in...
