What is Metaphoric Narration: The Structure and Function of Metaphors in À la Recherche Du Temps Perdu about?

In this distinctive gem of Proustian criticism, Inge Karalus Crosman defines the function of metaphor within the text.

Crosman's masterful analysis and deconstruction leads the reader to the double function of metaphor: the narrative and the cognitive.
