This article focuses on the books "The Captive," by Marcel Proust; and "Répertoire de Personages de "A la Recherche du Temps Perdu"." by Par Charles Daudet. "The Captive" yields to none of the previous volumes in interest or beauty. The first half, concerned chiefly with the inward life of the hero during the period when he was attempting to satisfy the demands of his morbid jealousy by exercising the most minute surveillance over every detail of Albertine's life, is one of the most curious of the many analyses of abnormal emotional states which the work contains.
