For this authoritative English-language edition, D.J. Enright has revised the late Terence Kilmartin's acclaimed reworking of C.K. Scott Moncrieff's translation to take into account the definitive 1989 Bibliothèque de la Pléiade editions.  This new translation re-establishes Proust's classic as a landmark of world literature.

Volume II of A la recherche du temps perdu (now re-titled in translation as In Search of Lost Time), Within a Budding Grove won the Prix Goncourt in 1919.  In it the narrator moves from the childhood reminiscences of Swann's Way to adolescence.  He loses interest in Gilberte and falls in love with Albertine, the girl on the bicycle with "that beauty spot on her cheek" with whom we visit Proust's Normandy seaside town of Balbec.

Translation history:
1930: Death of C.K. Scott Moncrieff, English translator of the first six volumes.
1954: Publication of the first revised Pléiade edition.
1981: Publication of the Terence Kilmartin revision of the Moncrieff translation.
