In the spirit of Proust's admission, this engaging and critical volume offers the first comparative reading of the French novelist in the context of American art, literature, and culture. In addition to examining Proust's key American influences-Ralph Waldo Emerson, Edgar Allen Poe, and James McNeill Whistler-Proust and America investigates the previously overlooked influence of the American neurologist George Beard, whose writings on neurasthenia and "American nervousness" contributed to the essential modernity of the author's work. 517 3 $aProust & America 606 $aArt and literature 606 $aArt, American 610 $aLiterature 610 $aProust 610 $aEdgar Allan Poe 610 $aLa Recherche 610 $aMarcel Proust 610 $aRalph Waldo Emerson 615 0$aArt and literature. 615 0$aArt, American. 676 $a843.912 700 $aMurphy$b Michael$f1965-2009,$0876388 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910168755603321 996 $aProust and America$92272058 997 $aUNINA
