Marcel Proust's Grasset Proofs

Douglas Alden provides scholars of Proust a practical means of access to the Grasset Proofs, which include Du cote de chez Swann, A l'ombre des jeunes filles en fleurs and Le Cote de Guermantes. Alden guides the reader in approaching Proust's only work available in its pre-publication form by dividing his book into two sections. His Commentary offers an analysis of the changes Proust made to his work, and his Variants shows the 1913 and 1914 proofs in discourse with the Pleiade edition.
