<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Early in his career, Marcel Proust, who greatly admired John Ruskin, published translations of two works by the English critic - <i>La Bible d'Amiens </i>(1900) and <i>Sésame et les Lys </i>(1906). He wrote a substantial preface to each book and provided discursive notes that were themselves often small essays. Rare now, even in their French versions, the preface to <i>La Bible d'Amiens </i>and the notes to both books have never before been available in English. In bringing them together with the preface to <i>Sésame et les Lys</i>, this new book completes the translation into English of the important critical writings of Proust. <br>Expertly edited and translated and . . . introduced by a brilliant forty-page essay and a fascinating bibliographical note by Richard Macksey. It is an event for celebration. . . . Proust emerges from these essays and notes as one of the truly great critics.--Gabriel Josipovici, <i>Times Literary Supplement</i><i></i><br>A welcome addition to English-language Proust texts and, I think, one long overdue.--Germain Brée, Kenan Professor Emerita, Wake Forest University <br>
