Time and Sense Proust and the Experience of Literature

Julia Kristeva's <i>Time and Sense </i>is a major reassessment of Marcel Proust and<i> In Search of Lost Time</i>. Not only a meditation on Proust, it is also a commentary on how the experience of literature is manifested in time and sensation. Kristeva uses Proust as a starting point to reflect on broader notions of character, time, sensation, metaphor, and history.
