Michael Finn shows that Proust's anxieties both about bodily weakness and about novel-writing were fed by a set of intriguing psychological and medical texts, and were mirrored in the nerve-based afflictions of earlier writers including Flaubert, Baudelaire, Nerval and the Goncourt brothers. Finn argues that once Proust cast off his concerns about being a nervous weakling he was freed to poke fun both at the supposed purity of the novel form. Hysteria - as a figure and as a theme - becomes a key to the Proustian narrative, and a certain kind of wordless, bodily copying of gesture and event is revealed to be at the heart of a writing technique which undermines many of the conventions of fiction. 410 0$aCambridge studies in French ;$v59. 517 3 $aProust, the Body & Literary Form 606 $aNeuroses in literature 606 $aHysteria in literature 615 0$aNeuroses in literature. 615 0$aHysteria in literature. 676 $a843/.912 700 $aFinn$b Michael R.$01122117 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778868703321 996 $aProust, the body, and literary form$93715321 997 $aUNINA
