Proust and Signs is a book by the philosopher Gilles Deleuze, in which the author explores the system of signs within the work of the celebrated French novelist Marcel Proust. It was first published in 1964; its second edition (1972) added an eighth concluding chapter, and its third edition (1976) appended an entire second part. The book was translated into English by Richard Howard. Deleuze uses the word transversality as a critical concept for his literary criticism in the second edition.
