It is strange, Proust wrote in 1909, that, in the most |
|
widely different departments . . . there should be no |
|
other literature which exercises over me so powerful an |
|
influence as English and American. In the spirit of |
|
Proust s admission, this engaging and critical volume |
|
offers the first comparative reading of the French |
|
novelist in the context of American art, literature, and |
|
culture. In addition to examining Proust s key American |
|
influences Ralph Waldo Emerson, Edgar Allen Poe, and |
|
James McNeill Whistler Proust and America investigates |
|
the previously overlooked influence of the American |
|
neurologist George Beard, whose writings on neurasthenia |
|
and American nervousness contributed to the essential |
|
modernity of the author s work. |
