The final three volumes of the novel were published posthumously and without Proust's final corrections and revisions. The first edition, based on Proust's manuscript, was published as ''Albertine disparue'' to prevent it from being confused with . After the death in 1986 of Proust's niece, Suzy Mante-Proust, her son-in-law discovered among her papers a typescript that had been corrected and annotated by Proust. The late changes Proust made include a small crucial detail and the deletion of approximately 150 pages. This version was published in French (Paris: Grasset, 1987) and translated as ''Albertine Gone'' by Terence Kilmartin (London: Chatto & Windus, 1989); the translation is now out of print. What was intended by Proust is still a subject of debate. For the 2002 translation of the volume, editor Christopher Pendergast charged Peter Collier with translating the 1954 edition. |
