Abstract
Love of the fatherland in Marcel Proust's « Le temps retrouvé », Annick Cochet. Proust denied any documentary value to art and the characters of Le temps retrouvé have only a partial and relative view of the First World War. The analysis of the novel is nevertheless a mine of observations which the historian can use profitably : on " Parisian life " in the rear, on the manipulations of public opinion, on naive or carefully cultivated love, on the Fatherland. Heroes, egoists, or simple " good people ", the characters of Le temps retrouvé reveal a lot about the minds of French people at war and about the emergence of a system of control of social representations which were to have so many successors throughout the history of the 20th century.
