Abstract
The approach to social developments in literary works is not
intended to provide a documented representation of a particular
historical and political moment, which would serve later as a
serious archived leverage for history. However, the writer's
sensibility is able to capture in his work the inner meaning of the
past events to provide a certain testimony of the historical
progress. In this paper we will focus on Proust’s novel In Search
of Lost Time in order to extract its subtle vision of some
historical moments during the French Third Republic in the light
of the experience of the French society and the mentalities that
formed public opinion. We will focus notably on the dual
function of history that can be seen in Proust - first as an
imaginary content that aestheticizes and idealizes history, and
second as a conflict that in a particular historical moment based
its prestige on culture, although each time the history was
included in a different conception.
