Since he was born on 10 July 1871, In Search of Lost Time’s writer Marcel Proust has always lived with women. They were his confidents, his teachers, and they appeased him. They were his models, his muses; he desired them, admired them, sent them plenty of letters – full of compliments, of criticisms, flowers or notes. And he suffered for them secretly. And in doing so, he made them live in his novels.
Be they duchesses, artists, bourgeois, courtesans, cookers, maids or secretaries, In Search of Lost Time’s seven volumes highlighted all of them. Actually, among the 200ish characters in the work, more than the half (120!) are women.
Jeanne Proust, Adèle Weil or Élisabeth de Clermont-Tonnerre are shaped by his writing and embody his heroines. Indeed, his mother, his aunt Léonie, Françoise, Gilberte, Odette, Oriane de Guermantes, Albertine and the others all are immortals!
