Remembrance of Things Past is the general title for the life work of Marcel Proust, and one by one, the seven independent novels which comprise the whole are being made available for readers of the Modern Library. Swann’s Way, the first novel, is volume No. 59; this is the second novel; the third, The Guermantes Way, is No. 213. Other parts will be published later. The novels should be read in their proper order, that their subtlety and depth may be savored to the full. (Spring 1934)
Scott Moncrieff translation originally published in U.S. in two volumes by Thomas Seltzer, 1924, and Albert & Charles Boni, 1928. ML edition (pp. [5–7], 1–396; 1–356) printed from Seltzer/Boni plates with table of contents revised and part titles added. Publication announced for April 1930 but moved forward to January. WR 25 January 1930. First printing: 10,000 copies. Discontinued 1970/71.
There was a second printing of 3,000 copies in December 1930. Within a Budding Grove appears to have been omitted from the ML’s 1942–43 ranking of titles in terms of sales.
