Translator: C. K. Scott-Moncrieff
Language: English
The world of fashion in which Marcel Proust spent his youth and
early manhood saw nothing of him during the last thirteen years of
his life. A victim of chronic illness, he barricaded himself in his
apartment, swathed himself like an Egyptian mummy, drew his
shutters and curtains to exclude the light, and there recorded his
chronicle of things past. Son of a distinguished physician and an
heiress of a rich Jewish family, Proust had his first training under the
guidance of the Roman Catholic Church. An association in the
1890’s with some of the aesthetes of that period resulted in the
publication of a review, to which Proust contributed some juvenile
prose and verse. Thereafter the fashionable Faubourg St. Germain
became his sphere, and it was there, among the illustrious and well-
born, that he assimilated those fragments of gossip and family
history which were later transmuted into a world in itself—the world
of À La Recherche du Temps Perdu.

TRANSLATOR’S DEDICATION
To
Mrs. H———,
on her Birthday
Oberon, in the Athenian glade,
Reduced by deft Titania’s power,
Invented arts for Nature’s aid
And from a snowflake shaped a flower:
Nature, to outdo him, wrought of human clay
A fairy blossom, which we acclaim to-day.
