This 1999 study examines the vogue for nervous afflictions in late nineteenth-century France, and relates Proust's anxieties about hysteria to his concern about literary form. Finn reveals Proust's novel as deeply concerned with bodily and literary hysteria, his writing technique is one which calls into question the conventions of fiction.
