Swann's Way

Realist and Literary Fiction

Swann's Way (French: Du cote de chez Swann) is the first of the seven volumes making up Marcel Proust's In Search of Lost Time. Proust paid to publish this first volume himself, with Editions Grasset, after it had been turned down by leading editors who had been offered the manuscript in longhand; the complete seven-volume work was published in France between 1913 and 1927.

This entity is Proust's first volume, Swann's Way; the cited source's own lead covers the whole seven-volume In Search of Lost Time and does not name this volume individually. No dedicated Wikipedia article exists for Swann's Way as a standalone page. A depth pass owes a richer, volume-specific source; the edges wave owes a part-of relation to in-search-of-lost-time.
