TL;DRAbstract
In spite of his carefully cultivated image as a literary hermit, Marcel Proust was always very much attuned to his social and cultural environment. He wrote frequently about the literary activities of his contemporaries – René de Chantal's Marcel Proust, critique littéraire is a monument to his life-long critical activity – and from time to time about societal issues close to his heart. Proust was a social chronicler and journalist, a productive essayist and critic, an inexhaustible (if perpetually exhausted) correspondent, a translator, and a master of the pastiche, before he became the novelist we know today.
