Produktbeschreibung

Although William James was a significant presence in Paris in the early 20th century, the role he played in the creation of Marcel Proust's ground-breaking novel A la recherche du temps perdu has been neglected by scholars. Much of what made Proust's novel so original stems from James's writings, which were available to Proust in translation.
