Content:
Proust, Pastiche, and the Postmodern or Why Style Matters argues against the traditional critical view that minimizes Proust's practice of pastiche - the imitation of a writer's style -and that considers it a simple exercise of mastering the predecessor. Instead, this work establishes pastiche as a powerful, ubiquitous practice central to Proust's entire oeuvre.
