Marcel proust

William Benton on a passage from in the seventh volume (“Time Regained”) of the French author Marcel Proust’s autobiographical novel “In Search of Lost Time.”

Scott Moncrieff's English translation of Proust's A la recherche du temps perdu is widely hailed as a masterpiece in its own right. His rendering of the title as Remembrance of Things Past is not, however, considered a high point. William C. Carter explores the two men's correspondence on this somewhat sticky issue and how the Shakespearean title missed the mark regarding Proust's theory of memory.

Guillaume Gallienne, the French filmmaker behind Me, Myself and Mum, is adapting Marcel Proust’s In Search of Lost Time into a TV series.

One hundred years after Proust's great novel was published Patrick McGuinness argues we can all have our madeleine moment

It’s all there in Proust—all mankind! Not only all the different character types, but also every emotion, every imaginable situation. Proust is a universal author: he can touch anyone, for different reasons; each of us can find some piece of himself in Proust, at different ages. What is most extraordinary about Proust is his ability to capture the subtlest nuances of human emotions, the slightest variations of the mind and the soul. To me, Proust is the Shakespeare of the inner world.
