名作家Graham Greene (《黑獄亡魂》、《賭城緣遇》、《愛情的盡頭》和《沈靜的美國人》原著）稱Proust為 20世紀最偉大小說家
W. Somerset Maugham 稱《追憶似水年華》是已知最偉大小說

《追憶似水年華》A la recherche du temps perdu 共有7冊, 約3200頁, 英譯The Modern Library's translation 約4300頁, 其中有2000個角色; 最後三冊是由普弟弟Robert於馬賽爾逝世之後整理出版

第一個英譯本 Remembrance of Things Past

前六冊是由蘇格蘭作家Charles Kenneth Scott Moncrieff ( C. K. Scott-Moncrieff )1922~1932翻譯(筆名Stephen Hudson), 書名Remembrance of Things Past 被評為並不是很忠實的翻譯 (not a literal translation of the original French. ) , 尚未譯完便過世了.....

最後一冊 Le Temps retrouve,一開始在英國版時,由Stephen Hudson（Sydney Schiff 筆名)譯為Time Regained (1931)"重獲的時光", 美國則是Frederick Blossom譯為 The Past Recaptured (1932)"重現的過往"....

C. K. Scott-Moncrieff 在1922出版第一冊, 英文不太好的Proust對書名有意見 ~ Proust 在一封信上提過, Remembrance 一字抹去了逝去時光（Temps perdu) 與再現時光 (Temps retrouve) 的關聯 (Painter, 352).

書名Remembrance of Things Past 來自莎翁十四行詩第30首（見下, 左欄為詩, 右欄為現代英文)

http://www.shakespeare-online.com/sonnets/30detail.html

When to the sessions of sweet silent thought When in these sessions of gratifying silent thought
I summon up remembrance of things past, I think of the past,
I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought, I lament my failure to achieve all that I wanted,
And with old woes new wail my dear time's waste: And I sorrowfully remember that I wasted the best years of my life:
Then can I drown an eye, unused to flow, Then I can cry, although I am not used to crying,
For precious friends hid in death's dateless night, For dear friends now hid in death's unending night,
And weep afresh love's long since cancell'd woe, And cry again over woes that were long since healed,
And moan the expense of many a vanish'd sight: And lament the loss of many things that I have seen and loved:
Then can I grieve at grievances foregone, Then can I grieve over past griefs again,
And heavily from woe to woe tell o'er And sadly repeat (to myself) my woes
The sad account of fore-bemoaned moan, The sorrowful account of griefs already grieved for,
Which I new pay as if not paid before. Which (the account) I repay as if I had not paid before.
But if the while I think on thee, dear friend, But if I think of you while I am in this state of sadness, dear friend,
All losses are restored and sorrows end. All my losses are compensated for and my sorrow ends

Stephen Hudson

後1981Terence Kilmartin 修訂 Scott Moncrieff 版本, 採用1954 的法文版; 1992再由D.J Enright 修訂採用最新最有權威之法文版 (1987–89)......書名改為In Search of Lost Time, , 由 Modern Library1992 出版

le14nov 補充說明：目前最新的英譯本應該是企鵝出版社在1995年計畫而分別由6位學者專家根據 Jean-Yves Tadie 主編的 Pleiade, Gallimard, 1978-89 法文版本重新翻譯的 In Search of Lost Time, general editor Christopher Prendergast, 6 volumes (London: The Penguin Press, 2002)

Malcolm Bowie 在 Sunday Telegraph 的書評如下：
'The latest Penguin Proust is a triumph, and will bring this inexhaustible artwork to new audiences throughout the English-speaking world'
另外也有一個網站專門討論這個英譯本，也把 Penguin 版跟 D.J. Enright's revision 版做了一番比較
