Société des Amis de Marcel Proust
Bulletin Marcel Proust
The reference annual, founded in 1950 and devoted to the work and life of Marcel Proust. Seventy-five issues published to date.
A leading scholarly journal
Founded in 1950 by the Société des Amis de Marcel Proust, the Bulletin Marcel Proust is the oldest scholarly journal devoted entirely to the author of À la recherche du temps perdu. Appearing each December, it brings together original contributions — articles, previously unpublished studies, translations, reviews — by leading Proust scholars from around the world.
Across its seventy-five issues, the Bulletin has published unpublished letters and documents, stylistic and genetic analyses, comparative studies, and biographical and philosophical approaches. It now stands as an essential body of reference for any research on Proust.
Issues from 1990 to 2015 are freely available on Gallica, the digital library of the Bibliothèque nationale de France. Recent issues are available from the SAMP shop.
