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.
“Proust is not an easy author to read. Carter’s revised translation
makes the text much more accessible to a contemporary
reader.”—Pascal Ifri, Washington University in St. Louis
“Carter has pared down the annotations and made them crystal clear.
This edition is both masterful in its content and pleasing in its
form.”—David Ellison, author of A Reader's Guide to Proust's
In Search of Lost Time
“Sodom and Gomorrah introduces key signposts on the road through
the Recherche. And as readers we could not ask for a more informed
and eloquent guide to this volume’s new realms than William
Carter.”—Harold Augenbraum, Editor, Collected Poems of Marcel
Proust
“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
