In “The Material Object in the Work of Marcel Proust”, Thomas Baldwin examines how Proust’s narrative is intricately intertwined with physical objects, which are not just passive elements in the text but act as catalysts for memory and emotional reflection. Proust is known for his highly detailed, sensory-rich descriptions of everyday life, and Baldwin focuses specifically on how these objects serve more than just a decorative function. Baldwin’s work highlights the symbolic, psychological, and emotional roles these objects play, linking them to broader themes in the novel, such as the passage of time, social class, and the act of remembering.
