Marcel Proust cover

Leo Bersani is an eminent literary critic whose influential work spans half a century. His vast, in many ways unclassifiable, oeuvre has traversed and blurred the boundaries of the disciplines of modern French literature, literary criticism, psychoanalysis, art history, film theory, philosophical aesthetics, and masculinity studies and sexuality studies. Oxford University Press published Bersani's first book, on Proust, in 1965, but the work has long been out of print. This new edition comes in response to a recent renewal of interest among philosophers of literature, among others, and features a new preface from the author.

Wood's easy movements across the expanses of Proustian writing are thus grounded by his attentiveness to linguistic detail, and readers willing to embrace his suggestive style will find much to stimulate reflection in this brief yet far-reaching study. * Richard Mason, Modern Language Review *
