Description

Preview
"The Proustian Quest" is a full-length study that explores the influence of social change on Proust's vision. "In Remembrance of Things Past", Proust describes how the machines of transportation and communication transformed fashion, social mores, timespace perception and the understanding of the laws of nature. Concentrating on the motif of speed, Carter establishes the centrality of the modern world to the novel's main themes and produces a far-reaching synthesis that demonstrates the work's profound structural unity.
