Proust's Deadline

A Note on Quotations

A Note on Quotations Quotations from Proust’s letters are taken from Philip Kolb’s twenty-one-volume edition of the Correspondance (referenced as Corr., followed by volume and page numbers)—with the exception of a handful of letters to Gaston Gallimard not included in the Correspondance. In those instances, I have quoted from Pascal Fouché’s edition of Proust’s correspondence with Gallimard . English translations, when followed by volume and page numbers, are from Kolb’s four-volume Selected Letters (translated by Terence Kilmartin, Joanna Kilmartin, and Ralph Manheim; referenced as SL). When quoting from À la recherche du temps perdu, I cite the four-volume Pléiade edition directed by Jean-Yves Tadié (referenced as RTP, followed by volume and page numbers). I then quote from Terence Kilmartin and Andreas Mayor’s revision of C. K. Scott Moncrieff’s three-volume Remembrance of Things Past—the English translation most likely to be found in university libraries. All translations of French sources not followed by a page number are my own. On occasion, I have taken the liberty of translating very brief phrases from the French directly into English, without citing the original, for the sake of simplicity. 000 Cano FMT (i-xiv) 7/25/06 5:01 PM Page xi 000 Cano FMT (i-xiv) 7/25/06 5:01 PM Page xii proust’s deadline 000 Cano FMT (i-xiv) 7/25/06 5:01 PM Page xiii 000 Cano FMT (i-xiv) 7/25/06 5:01 PM Page xiv ...
