Book Description:
|
A la recherche du temps perdu is a hybrid, a novel-essay, a capacious work of fiction containing a commonplace-book. Science and Structure explores the epistemological alertness and anxiety of Proust's masterpiece and in so doing illuminates the interrelations between 'modernist' art and science. Proust is read as a writer of maxims and metaphors, of short and long sentences, as at once an aesthete and a scientific thinker.
