Offering a variety of means for readers to become familiar, or more familiar, with Marcel Proust, this is number 371 in the esteemed Dictionary of Literary Biography series. Published since
1977, the series was originally organized so that each volume addressed a topic, period, or genre; but that changed over time so that since 1999, DLB has incorporated ＂Documentary＂ volumes as
well. This compendium is a rich presentation of published responses to Proust’s works, arranged in chronological order and supported with brief introductory remarks, related material, and
illustrations. Selections from Proust’s own works are presented in French, with English translation. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
