PROUST ET LA RÉVOLUTION ROMANESQUE : DÉCLIC D’UNE MODERNITÉ
PROUST AND THE ROMANESQUE REVOLUTION: THE TRIGGER FOR THE MODERN

Summary/Abstract: Published at the author’s expense, just like Baudelaire's Flowers of Evil, which incited a real poetic revolution, Marcel Proust's novel Swann’s Way opens a grandiose endeavor In Search of Lost Time as a radical departure from Romanesque works popular in the 19th century, signaling a new era in novel writing. The author of this work is a link between the 19th and 20th centuries, in which he will be one of the greatest thinkers and writers. In this paper, we try to understand Proust's "orchestrated" break as well as the extent to which the Search can be taken as the basis of modernity of the twentieth century.
