He wrote a substantial preface to each book and provided discursive notes that were themselves often small essays. Rare now, even in their French versions, the preface to \u003ci\u003eLa Bible d'Amiens \u003c\/i\u003eand the notes to both books have never before been available in English. In bringing them together with the preface to \u003ci\u003eSésame et les Lys\u003c\/i\u003e, this new book completes the translation into English of the important critical writings of Proust. \u003cbr\u003e\"Expertly edited and translated and . . . introduced by a brilliant forty-page essay and a fascinating bibliographical note by Richard Macksey. It is an event for celebration. . . . Proust emerges from these essays and notes as one of the truly great critics.\"--Gabriel Josipovici, \u003ci\u003eTimes Literary Supplement\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"A welcome addition to English-language Proust texts and, I think, one long overdue.\"--Germain Brée, Kenan Professor Emerita, Wake Forest University \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marcel Proust\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300045034\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300045031\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/10\/1989\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 173\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.55d","brand":"Marcel Proust","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46617845825791,"sku":"9780300045031","price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9c5d85da-e96e-4af7-9ea0-9b79f0eb06fe.jpg?v=1740068486","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/on-reading-ruskin-marcel-proust-9780300045031","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
