| book description |

Julia Kristeva presents a thoroughly original and compelling reading of Proustâ€™s Remembrance of Things Past, first delivered at the 1992 T.S. Eliot Memorial Lectures at Canterbury. Kristeva's first essay, â€œProust and Time Embodied,â€ takes a broadly psychoanalytical, linguistically sensitive approach to Proustâ€™s exploration of time and the operation of memory. Next, in â€œIn Search of Madeline,â€ she delves into Proustâ€™s concept of the little cake that flooded him with the taste of childhood regained, providing an explanation for Proustâ€™s search for the deeper levels of childhood grounded in her psychoanalytic experience. Throughout Proust and the Sense of Time, Kristeva draws on Proustâ€™s notebooks and manuscripts, pointing out significant variations in the different versions of his work. She examines his early philosophical training and the philosophical trends in Paris at the turn of the century, seeking to explain how he arrived at his concept of the primacy of memory and sensation.
