Proust, Pastiche, and the Postmodern or Why Style Matters
Proust, Pastiche, and the Postmodern or Why Style Matters
Автор
James H. Austin
In this book, Austin 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.
