Description
Proust the Skeptic offers a fresh perspective on Marcel Proust's literary thought and writing practice. In this book, Christopher Prendergast argues that Proust himself was prey to self-doubt and found ways of questioning the aesthetic he is often associated with. Prendergast explores the locations and forms of a quietly nondogmatic yet insistently skeptical voice in Proust's work, tracing its modalities across various ideas, themes, sources, and stylistic registers. By examining these details, Prendergast brings to light a more nuanced understanding of Proust's writing practice. This book provides a sustained account of Proust the skeptic for contemporary readers, inviting them to reconsider their assumptions about his work.
