Women Writers in Pre-Revolutionary France: Strategies of Emancipation
Read this(1997) and when we went off to Belgium(1998), I took the latest 6-volume Proust along figuring I could read in in the one to two years we were to be there. I did well but we were there five years and only began Vol. VI -- then it languished until last year(2006) when there was some instigation on Constant Reader to form a Proust group under the Classics Corner conference -- and so we read and discussed and this month(Sept 2007, after our move to the Goodreads site) began our final volume of Proust -- anyone is welcome to join our small band of erstwhile Proustians.
MAY 2010 second reading:
Found on rereading that I largely had noted in the margins or on the tiny dog ears those places where Rose had actually placed quotes from Proust's book/s and paid little attention to any connection I might have picked up relative to the year's worth of Rose's musings on her own life which were tied into her year with Proust. This time around I found a great many connections, either which existed back when I first read this or which came about due to my own life-expanding experiences during the five years spent in Belgie -- including my own time with Proust both in Belgie and thereafter and, to be perfectly frank, presently. More connections turned up relative to changes which have taken place in my own life recently as well. She speaks a great deal about her mother and the mother's health and I am at that point with my own mother so I noticed that a lot more. I think what I mostly picked up on was that she seems to relate to books and reading in many ways which reflect my own involvement with them.
It held up pretty well overall and I gathered some notes for use in my own current musing project related to Proust.
