Proust's English
Karlin, Daniel (Graduate Director for the School of English, University of Sheffield)
A fascinating study of English words and phrases in A la recherche du temps perdu, dealing both with the social comedy of French 'Anglomania' - characters who yearn to resemble 'un parfait gentleman' or invite each other to 'le five-o'clock tea' - and with Proust's profound understanding of the necessary 'impurity' of all languages and artistic creation. Karlin demonstrates that English is a significant presence in this greatest of Frenchmasterpieces.
