Proust's Lesbianism

For Decades, Elisabeth Ladenson says, critics have misread or ignored a crucial element in Marcel Proust's fiction - his representation of lesbians. Her challenging new book definitively establishes the centrality of lesbianism as sexual obsession and aesthetic model in Proust's vast novel A la recherche du temps perdu.

First sentence: For the past twenty years or so a movement has been afoot in the United States to reclaim, rediscover, and reinvent lesbian history.
