In Search Of Lost Time
''In Search of Lost Time'' (french: À la recherche du temps perdu), first translated into English as ''Remembrance of Things Past'', and sometimes referred to in French as ''La Recherche'' (''The Search''), is a novel in seven volumes by French author Marcel Proust. This early 20th-century work is his most prominent, known both for its length and its theme of involuntary memory. The most famous example of this is the "episode of the madeleine", which occurs early in the first volume. The novel gained fame in English in translations by C. K. Scott Moncrieff and Terence Kilmartin as ''Remembrance of Things Past'', but the title ''In Search of Lost Time'', a literal rendering of the French, became ascendant after D. J. Enright adopted it for his revised translation published in 1992. ''In Search of Lost Time'' follows the narrator's recollections of childhood and experiences into adulthood in the late 19th-century and early 20th-century high-society France, while reflecting on ...

''The Captive, from Sterne'' is a painting by Joseph Wright of Derby completed in 1774 and now in the National Gallery of Canada. ''Sterne's Captive'', first exhibited by the artist in 1778, is a similar painting by Wright in the Derby Museum and Art Gallery.

In 2012, Derby Museum commissioned another ''Captive painting'' from Emma Tooth. Description Both paintings show the despair of a traveller who finds himself abandoned in a foreign jail. ''The Captive'' title is based on the section of the same name in Laurence Sterne's ''A Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy'' (1768).
