K. Scott Moncrieff's enduring English translation, presented here in its final form, revised by both Terence Kilmartin and D. J, Enright. Proust's A la recherche du temps perdu was first published in eight parts, between 1913 and 1927 (I. Du Cote de Chez Swann (1913); II. A l'Ombre des Jeunes Filles en Fleurs (1918), awarded the Prix Goncourt in 1919; III. Le Cote de Guermantes I (1920); IV. Le Cote de Guermantes II, Sodome et Gomorrhe I (1921); V. Sodome et Gomorrhe II (1922); VI. La Prisonniere (1923); VII. Albertine Disparue (1925); VIII. Le Temps Retrouve (1927)). The first volumes of C. K. Scott Moncrieff's English translation appeared in 1922: Swann's Way (1922), Within a Budding Grove (1924), The Guermantes Way (1925), Cities of the Plain (1927) were each issued in two volumes, followed by The Captive (1929), The Sweet Cheat Gone (1930) and Time Regained (1931) in single volumes, the final volume translated by Sydney Schiff (under the pseudonym Stephen Hudson) following Moncrieff's death. Issued in a twelve-volume uniform edition in 1941, this six-volume edition, revised by Terence Kilmartin and later by D. J. Enright, includes a guide to the complete work, as well as notes, addenda and synopses at the back of each volume.
