Marcel Proust
-
An amazing online Proust encyclopedia.
Although the site emphasizes the autobiographical
elements of the novel, Gabriella Alu' has
created some beautiful and intelligent pages.
Sections include "Proust explains Proust,"
"Reading Proust," "The World of the
Recherche," "References and
Resources," and much more. The site
contains many wonderful images and pictures, and is
worth repeated visits. The excellent Raging
Babel Fish translator can help make these
Italian pages more accessible to an English-speaking
audience.

Gallica Proust
-
An online "dossier" devoted to
Proust's novel, and in particular, to Le
Temps retrouvé. This is a great site
that gives equal time to the novel as it does to
Proust's life. It features a detailed
chronology, brief sections on time, memory, and the
characters of the novel, as well as an account of
Proust's "project" and an overview of
the collection of Proust's manuscripts and
typescripts at the Bibliothèque nationale de
France. However, the pages given to Le Temps
retrouvé are the real treat of this
site. There's a nice, small summary of the plot,
but you can also view each page of Proust's
manuscript, as well as a hyperlinked version of the
first edition. It's a wonderful use of the power
of the Web for scholarly ends. In French.

proust.it
-
Another site in Italian, these professional-looking
pages feature the following rubrics: Introduction to
Proust, Citations, Comments & Notes, and
Documents. Overall, the focus is on literary history
and presents a rather conventional understanding of
the novel. I am also not sure of the value of
posting pages and pages of citations from the novel,
but some headings, such as "The Theory of
Memory" and "The Value of
Intelligence" may prove helpful to some.

Proust: l'écriture et les arts

The official site of the "Proust,
l'écriture et les arts" exhibit at
the Bibliothèque nationale de France that ran

beautiful site that will probably frustrate visitors
who do not have high-speed Internet access, however.
Pages include "la culture familiale,"
"la culture artistique," "la culture
du siècle," "les personnages de
créateurs," and "au cours de la
recherche." In French.
