Time and Sense: Proust and the Experience of Literature - Paperback

by Julia Kristeva (Author), Ross Guberman (Translator)

Julia Kristeva's Time and Sense is a major reassessment of Marcel Proust and In Search of Lost Time. Not only a meditation on Proust, it is also a commentary on how the experience of literature is manifested in time and sensation. Kristeva uses Proust as a starting point to reflect on broader notions of character, time, sensation, metaphor, and history.
