Proust and the Visual is an edited volume of essays written by Proustian specialists, concerned with a rich phenomenological category, the "e;visual"e; whose prominent role in the novel is at the heart of its modernity. The "e;visual"e; is defined as manifesting in the image not only space, but also time. The "e;visual"e; is considered as a category that delineates the conditions of possibility of all visibility and constitutes an integral part of both the progression of the narrator's journey towards becoming a writer and of the unfolding of the novel itself.
