Trade Review

"Carter’s notes are excellent.” —Michael Wood, London Review of Books


“Our greatest Proustian has performed unique feats of scholarship in these definitive pages. William Carter is an international treasure.”—Benjamin Taylor, author of Proust: The Search

“William C. Carter provides the modern-day Anglophone reader ready access to Proust’s imaginary universe by providing concise and extremely useful annotations in the margins of the text.”—David R. Ellison, author of A Reader’s Guide to Proust’s “In Search of Lost Time”

“My favorite translation of Proust is Proust’s first English translator, Scott Moncrieff, but updated and corrected and annotated by one of the greatest Proustians alive today, William C. Carter . . . of whom I’m an enormous fan. . . . Beautifully annotated. . . . An invaluable resource.”—Caroline Weber, author of Proust’s Duchess: How Three Celebrated Women Captured the Imagination of Fin-de-Siecle Paris
