Abstract
In September 2018, I went to Durham to give a paper at a conference on sound.1 I had written a paper about Marcel Proust and the German composer Robert Schumann, and since the conference was not limited to French Studies, I wanted to provide English translations of the quotations I was using. Turning to the most recent translation of Proust into English, that published by Penguin in 2002 and edited by Christopher Prendergast, I searched for the word ‘Schumann’ in a digital library copy. To my surprise, the passage I was looking for did not come up. Cursing the vagaries of electronic search functions, I began skim-reading the volume in question: Finding Time Again, the final volume of Proust’s In Search of Lost Time, translated by Ian Patterson.2 Eventually I found the sought-after lines, lines which comment on Robert de Saint-Loup’s last words to the protagonist before returning to death on the front line. Here I came up short, for a reason I relate below.
