This M. A. thesis allies the study of the published text of Jean Santeuil and the novel In Search of Lost Time, by Marcel Proust, to the analysis of the manuscript of this novel. The focus of the analysis – both, published text and sketches – is the study of the theme of love. Such feeling tends to be recollected in successive stages attached to the homonymous character (Jean Santeuil), as well as to the character Charles Swann in the novel In Search of Lost Time. Concerning the experience of love, Swann, narrator’s alter ego, embodies some features that are quite peculiar – jealousy and the relation with art, for instance – that are going to be experienced by the Proustian hero throughout the work. Hence, the research starts from the progressive constitution of this feeling in the manuscript project posthumously entitled Jean Santeuil together with a number of autograph manuscripts, as well as in the first published work by the young writer, whose title is Pleasures and Days, in which Marcel Proust, trying to, subsequently, develop this theme, follow the analysis of the manifestation of Charles Swann’s love in published text. The main aim of this analysis is make it clear that the theme of love discloses constant elaboration and recursion. So much so that some successive stages are going to be seen in different books, in different characters, both In Search of Lost Time and in Jean Santeuil, and, additionally, in the sketches that were written by Proust for the creation of his oeuvre. This analysis is based on the scope of genetic criticism, that is, the investigation upon the amount of documents left by the artist through the creative process from which it is possible to retrace intuitions, ideas and poetic of an artist aiming to broaden the comprehension, in this case, of the theme of love.
