Not only a meditation on Proust, this is a commentary on how the experience of literature is manifested in time and sensation. Kristeva uses Proust as a starting point to reflect upon broader notions of character, time, sensation, metaphor, and history.

Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Kristeva's Proust and the Sense of Time (LJ 9/1/93), based on four lectures she gave at Canterbury in 1992, is a precursor to this title. While in that earlier study Kristeva's psychoanalytic approach revealed Proust's psyche, this detailed and well-documented work highlights even more effectively Kristeva's use of "inter-textuality" to demonstrate how, in the vast space of Proust's novel (where historical time, past, and present are interwoven), we can, through both memory and the literary creation, "experience the sense of time and sense that time is getting away from us." Style and approach here are personal and, at times, approximate the tone of causerie (a mix of long, evocative sentences and short phrases unconnected by verbs). This translation is quite faithful to the original, but Kristeva's tone does not always prevail. Nonetheless, the reader will find it to be an intellectual delight.?Danielle Mihram, Univ. of Southern California

Review
Kristeva as always brings a resourceful and sophisticated theoretical awareness to her interpretive work. By translating much of Proust's post-symbolic discourse on literature into her own psychoanalytic idiom, she invites us to reread him with an innocence and an enthusiasm that today, in this age of suspicion we call our own, are becoming rare. -- Modern Philology
