Description:The twenieth century, which witnessed the systematic destruction of entire cities through warfare, is a century of ruins. From the vantage point of the juncture of the 19th and 20th centuries, Marcel Proust clearly captures in La Recherce the genesis of the nineteenth century's altered vision of ruins. The present study examines this new vision: one that perpetuates the traditional motif of ruins that reach as far back as Antiquity, and one that outlines a new poetics of ruins with Proust as a precursor. Benefiting from access to rarely seen early drafts of La Recherche, Professor Chirol sheds light on the complex evolution of the ruin motif in Proust's creative process. Ultimately Professor Chirol demonstrates how Proust innovated on this age-old motif by opening the door to modernist variations such as imaginary ruins, human ruins, instantaneous ruins, and ruins as foundations.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
