Swann's Way1992
The best-of-both compromise, and for years the default. This is Scott-Moncrieff’s beloved prose twice corrected, by Terence Kilmartin in 1981 against a sounder French text, then by D. J. Enright in 1992, who retitled the whole work In Search of Lost Time. You keep most of the old music while shedding the worst inaccuracies, and the Modern Library set is handsomely annotated. Purists split: some want Scott-Moncrieff pure, others want Davis’s greater fidelity. As a middle path, this remains the safe, rich complete Proust.
