Time & Sense Proust and the Experience of Literature

"An important and enlivening book....Ms. Kristeva is a critic of great psychoanalytic insight who is also finely sensitive to the complex rhetorical and syntactical elaboration of Proust's world....Her complex argument works toward the conclusion that Proust eventually subverts the pretensions of exclusive ethnic and class-bound identities--and this surely is one of Proust's principal claims to our ethical attention. Finally, Ms. Kristeva as textual analyst provides striking and rewarding readings of the Proustian sentence."Kristeva, Julia is the author of 'Time & Sense Proust and the Experience of Literature', published 1998 under ISBN 9780231102513 and ISBN 0231102518.
