The shorter Proust, Proust the moraliste, is a prolific writer of maxims, from the laws of the passions to the aesthetic manifesto of the Temps retrouvé to the [?rapacious] teeming/fertile/spawning/exuberant/luxuriant reflection(s) on sexuality, politics, society. Yet these maxims, whose grammar lays claim to timelessness, are bound up in narrative, the story of their evolution. And disintegration. Proust's moralizing exposes our affective relationship with law statements, with authority, and it is this question that engages A la recherche in an epistemological debate which crosses the boundaries between the two cultures, art and science. What might be called the epistemological alertness of Proust's text is explored at this interface between 'modernist' science and literature.

Review
Luckhurst convincingly redraws the map to show the common geography of literature and science; any stodgy, pedantic hesitations are soon cast aside as Luckhurst guides us through the 'abundant metaphoric, speculative, and regulatory presence' of science in the recherche. (Margaret E. Gray, Times Literary Supplement)
