New Haven, Conn: Yale University Press, 1987. Hardcover. VG (Slight wear to bottom edge of dj.). Burgundy cloth, wine-colored dust jacket, 173 pp., 21 BW illus. "Early in his career, Marcel Proust, who greatly admired John Ruskin, published translations of two works by the English critic -- La Bible d'Amiens (1900) and Sesame et les Lys (1906). He contributed a substantial essay as a preface to each book and provided discursive notes that were themselves often small essays. Rare now, even in their French versions, the preface to La Bible d'Amiens and the notes to both books have never before been available in English. In bringing them together with the preface to Sesame et les Lys, this new book completes the translation into English of the important critical writings of Proust." (dj) Translated and edited by Jean Autret, William Burford, and Phillip J. Wolfe, and with an introduction by Richard Macksey.
