Reviews

It is not possible to do full justice to this pioneering collection of essays on Proust’s influence on contemporary Irish writers from the 1920s to the beginning of the twenty-first century, and to a most penetrating exploration of the Irish dimension of Proust’s own writings. The chapters that examine the penetration of Proust’s work in Ireland and the echoes of Irish history and culture in Proust’s novels represent a major contribution towards a better understanding of the close and often intriguing literary relationship between France and Ireland. -- Dr Pierre Joannon, Royal Irish Academy
