A Reader's Guide to Remembrance of Things Past

by Terence Kilmartin

This book is intended as a guide through the 3,300-page labyrinth of Remembrance of Things Past not only for readers who are embarking on Proust's masterpiece for the first time but for those who, already under way, find themselves daunted and bewildered by the profusion of characters, themes, and allusions. It also aims to provide those who have completed the journeys with means of refreshing their memories, tracking down a character or an incident, tracing a recurrent them or favourite passage, or identifying a literary or historical reference. Perhaps, too, the book may serve as a sort of Proustian anthology or bedside companion. (From the "Foreward")
