We have all had a physical sensation that has reminded us so vividly of a moment in our past that we have almost ceased to be aware of the present. Marcel Proust immortalized this in the first volume of his fifteen-volume novel, in 1913. But the novel, completed just before his death in 1922, deals with many other themes. It is an account of how the narrator, Marcel, discovers his vocation as an artist and explores the nature of art. As a psychological novel, it studies jealousy and how the emotional traumas we undergo in childhood can influence our adult lives. It is the first major novel to offer a detailed account of male and female homosexuality. It is a satirical analysis of French upper-class society at the turn of the century. It also shows how this society changes with time. Philip Thody offers a straightforward analysis of how Proust‘s novel is constructed, what it contains, and how its themes can be related to our experiences as members of American or English society in the late twentieth century.He explains one of the most complex prose narratives in terms | 出版日期 | Textbook 1987Latest edition | 关键词 | chronology; English literature; humour; knowledge; literature; love; model; Research in English and America | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-349-19010-2 | copyright | Macmillan Publishers Limited 1987 |
