Description

Marcel Proust's translations of John Ruskin's works offer a unique insight into the English critic's ideas. This collection brings together Proust's translations of La Bible d'Amiens and Sesame et les Lys, along with his substantial preface to each book and accompanying notes.

Edited and translated by Richard Macksey, this new publication completes the translation of Proust's critical writings into English. The result is a valuable addition to English-language texts on Proust, shedding light on his own critical approach.

Proust emerges as a significant critic in these essays and notes, offering readers a nuanced understanding of his thought process. A fascinating bibliographical note accompanies the book, adding depth to this important collection.
