Review:
'Proust's glorious and much anthologised essay on reading originally appeared as a preface to his translation of some lectures by John Ruskin; the excellent idea of this volume is to bring together both "On Reading" and one of the Ruskin lectures, complete with Proust's own footnotes, plus a few other short Proustian prefaces, so that we may see the ideas of the famous essay being born.' --The Guardian
About the Author:
Novelist Marcel Proust (1871-1922) was a prominent figure in the French salons of the late nineteenth century, and is best remembered for his huge masterpiece In Search of Lost Time. John Ruskin (1819-1900) was an English artist, critic and social commentator. He was the first Slade Professor of Fine Art at Oxford University and the author of over 250 works on a range of subjects.
