Publisher's Summary
In Search of Lost Time (A la recherche du Temps Perdu) by Marcel Proust, and A Dance to the Music of Time by Anthony Powell are two of the longest novels ever written. Both novels share a host of similarities, but their popular reception has proved remarkably different over the years.
The seven volumes of In Search of Lost Time have been translated into more than a dozen languages, including several different English versions, but the twelve volumes of A Dance to the Music of Time have been translated into only three other languages. There have been more than three thousand books written about Proust but less than a dozen written about Powell. This book seeks to compare the two novels and the two novelists, and attempt to explain or at least explore the disparity in their respective receptions.
