wilde
in "in search of lost time" (also known as "remembrance of things past"), author marcel proust uses madeleines to contrast involuntary memory with voluntary memory. the latter designates memories retrieved by "intelligence", that is, memories produced by putting conscious effort into remembering events, people, and places. proust's narrator laments that such memories are inevitably partial, and do not bear the "essence" of the past. the most famous instance of involuntary memory by proust is known as the "episode of the madeleine", yet there are at least half a dozen other examples in "in search of lost time".
