Description

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-oclock tea - and with Prousts profound understanding of the necessary impurity of all languages and artistic creation. Karlin demonstrates that English is a significant presence in this greatest of French masterpieces.
