Scott Moncrieff’s famous translation from the 1920s is today regarded as a classic in its own right and is now available in three volumes in Penguin Classics.This first volume includes Swann’s Way and Within a Budding Grove.’Scott Moncrieff’s [volumes] belong to that special category of translations which are themselves literary masterpieces … his book is one of those translations, such as the Authorized Version of the Bible itself, which can never be displaced’ – A. N. Wilson ‘For the reader wishing to tackle Proust your guide must be C K Scott Moncrieff … There are some who believe his headily perfumed translation of la recherche du temps perdu conjures Belle poque France more vividly even than the original’ – Telegraph ‘I was more interested and fascinated by your rendering than by Proust’s creation’ – Joseph Conrad to Scott Moncrieff
