Description

Explore the deep connection between Marcel Proust and the Victorian era in this scholarly study. The book examines how a 1899 reading of Ruskin's "The Lamp of Memory" influenced Proust's later literary work. This influence is seen in his masterpiece, Du cote de chez Swann, where the narrator recalls reading the same piece in the garden at Combray. This work traces the period of Proust's intermittent enthusiasm for Victorian writing. It follows his process of absorbing and rethinking his views through the lens of English writers. Readers will find a detailed look at how Proust refurbished his method and reassessed his perspectives based on these literary encounters. It is an essential read for those interested in literary history, the evolution of Proust's style, and the impact of English literature on French modernism.
