...shed light on the localities into which the Midsummer Night's Dream admits me? Did Shakespeare confide to any notary or parish recorder, sacristan, or surogate, in Stratford, the genesis of the delicate creation?" And George Steiner, writing of Painter's biography of Proust, said that it was so explicit, gave so many details of Proust's life that bore directly on A la recherche du temps perdu, that no reader of the biography could possibly respond to the novel in a fresh and unprejudiced...
