Sumario:The article focuses on the complex relationships between Marcel Proust and his publishers, Bernard Grasset and Gaston Gallimard, during the publication of his major works. After initially rejecting "In Search of Lost Time," Grasset eventually published "In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower," which won the Prix Goncourt in 1919. The exchanges between Proust and his publishers, often marked by incessant corrections and misunderstandings, reveal the challenges of editorial collaboration. Historian Pascal Fouché played a key role in gathering unpublished correspondence that sheds light on this dynamic, highlighting the tensions and efforts made to promote Proust's work.
L'article se concentre sur les relations complexes entre Marcel Proust et ses éditeurs, Bernard Grasset et Gaston Gallimard, lors de la publication de ses œuvres majeures. Après avoir initialement rejeté "Le Temps perdu", Grasset a finalement publié "À l’ombre des jeunes filles en fleurs", qui a remporté le prix Goncourt en 1919. Les échanges entre Proust et ses éditeurs, souvent marqués par des corrections incessantes et des malentendus, révèlent les défis de la collaboration éditoriale. L'historien Pascal Fouché a joué un rôle clé en rassemblant des correspondances inédites qui éclairent cette dynamique, mettant en lumière les tensions et les efforts déployés pour faire connaître l'œuvre de Proust.
