Marcel Proust (1871–1922) was a French novelist, critic, and essayist best known for À la Recherche du Temps Perdu, published in seven parts between 1913 and 1927. William C. Carter is Distinguished Professor of French Emeritus at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
“Carter has an impressive, encyclopedic grasp of Proust’s novel.
His discreet references to earlier volumes illuminate the strong
architectural construction of the book. This is a major and
important project, and one which has become increasingly necessary
for intelligent, non-specialist readers who cannot read Marcel
Proust’s vast novel in the original French.”—David Ellison, author
of A Reader's Guide to Proust's 'In Search of Lost Time'
“Because it takes into account the latest textual corrections in
Proust’s manuscripts, this edition of The Guermantes Way, based on
the legendary translation by C.K. Scott Moncrieff, will no doubt be
the authoritative English version of volume 3 of In Search of Lost
Time for years to come.”—Elyane Dezon-Jones, Washington University
in St. Louis
“My favorite translation of Proust is Proust’s first English
translator, Scott Moncrieff, but updated and corrected and
annotated by one of the greatest Proustians alive today, William C.
Carter . . . of whom I’m an enormous fan. . . . Beautifully
annotated . . . An invaluable resource.”—Caroline Weber,
author of Proust's Duchess: How Three Celebrated Women Captured the
Imagination of Fin-de-Siecle Paris
