Abstract

The name of Marcel Proust doesn't appear in Physiologie de la critique, a series of conference that Albert Thibaudet held in Paris in 1922, and which were published in book form in 1930. However, if we read between the lines, Proust is very present in this essay. Thibaudet analyses Proust's art in a discrete and implicit modus and shows us that the famous conflict between Proust and Sainte-Beuve wasn't really a conflict, as he sees it. If we look attentively at the texts, Proust is sometimes very close to Sainte-Beuve, even if he refuses to admit it.
