At the time Proust conceived A la recherche du temps perdu he simultaneously published a series of nine pastiches about topical issues in the press, a decision which might seem surprising considering it is contrary to his aesthetic. L'Histoire du pastiche by Paul Aron sheds new light on this episode: the pastiche first enables to refl ect on the connection between creation and academic exercise then, more deeply, between criticism and creation. But the history of the genre eventually reveals that these publications, in the papers and then in a collection, illustrate Proust's position as a writer.
