Through detailed indepth exegeses of Prousts literary texts (A la Recherche du temps perdu, Jean Santeuil, and Contre SainteBeuve), Judaism in Marcel Proust: AntiSemitism, PhiloSemitism, and Judaic Perspectives in Art explains antiSemitism and philoSemitism as present in actual French literary texts. Unlike other studies about Proust and Judaism, the narrative in this book is in English; the focus is on the actual French texts, not on Prousts biography. Primary Judaic sources such as the Hebrew Bible, the Babylonian Talmud, Moses Maimonides Mishneh Torah, and Rashis commentaries illuminate Prousts texts and skillfully demonstrate their antiSemitic and philoSemitic subtexts.The principal Proustian themes that are examined in depth include, first of all, the antiSemitism and philoSemitism of the characters as informed by JeanPaul Sartres Rflexions sur la queston juive; second, Christian interpretations of Judaic biblical references and their antiSemitic connotations as well as the philoSemitic references to the Hebrew Bible and to Judaic culture and ritual contained in the Proust texts; third, the importance of references to art in Prousts texts and their Judaic significance.Written in a lively, clear, and accessible style, Judaism in Marcel Proust engages the reader, both Proustophile and Proust scholar alike. It would be an excellent choice for the reading list of courses on Proust as well as for French history and social psychology courses on antiSemitism and philoSemitism relating to the Dreyfus case and the Belle Epoque.
