Marcel Proust in the Light of William James

In Search of a Lost Source

Produktbeschreibung

Although William James was a significant presence in Paris in the early 20th century, the role he played in the creation of Marcel Proustâ s ground-breaking novel à la recherche du temps perdu has been neglected by scholars. Much of what made Proustâ s novel so original stems from Jamesâ s writings, which were available to Proust in translation.
