书目名称 | Proust and the Victorians | 副标题 | The Lamp of Memory | 编辑 | Robert Fraser | 视频video | | 图书封面 |  | 描述 | In 1899 Marcel Proust read a translation of Ruskin‘s The Lamp of Memory in a Belgian magazine. Fourteen years later he back-projected the experience onto the narrator of Du cote de chez Swann who describes himself as a boy reading the self-same piece in the garden at Combray. In between lay a period of intermittent enthusiasm for Victorian writing: a period which saw the refurbishment of Proust‘s method and a fundamental rethinking of his views. Much of this reassessment was achieved in relation to English writers whom Proust adopted, absorbed and then as often as not discarded. The end result was to enable him to pass from one aesthetic to another.It is the contention of this book that the clue to this process can be found not only in Proust‘s evolving views on memory and time but also in his progression through a three-fold typology of form: from ‘mimetic form‘ (art-imitating-the-real) through ‘mnemonic form‘ (art-imitating-memory) to ‘abstract form‘ (art-imitating-itself). The progress from one to another is illustrated through Proust‘s reactions to Carlyle, Darwin, Emerson, Ruskin, George Eliot, Hardy, Stevenson, Wells and Wilde. There is also a chapter on the connection in Pro | 出版日期 | Book 1994 | 关键词 | Marcel Proust; memory; Victorian era | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-349-23249-9 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-349-23251-2 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-349-23249-9 | copyright | Robert Fraser 1994 |
