Description

Bringing together many Surrealist texts that have never previously been available in English; this collection is an essential guide for anyone who wishes to understand the Surrealist movement. Including a wealth of original works; it traces its development in the words of the Surrealists themselves; offering a definitive expression of Surrealism as a collective movement. It shows the extent of Surrealist positions and interests and shows how; having become a major cultural phenomenon of the twentieth century; the issues it has raised remain central to current debates.Covering the period 1922-91; these key texts illuminate its philosophical; political and ethical positions and locate Surrealism in a broader social and cultural context. Comprising statements from Surrealist groups in Paris; Belgium; Romania; Sweden and Czechoslovakia; and signed by the major participants; it reveals the international dimension of Surrealism and shows how it has maintained vitality in response to changing social and political exigencies. Chapters cover the historical orientation of Surrealism; its involvement with revolutionary politics; its ethical concerns and its defense of the security of the spirit; and its position on colonialism. In particular; the volume brings attention to the extent to which Surrealism represented a collective adventure in which their shared interests brought together groups of individuals to explore themes in common. In this sense; Surrealism truly represented; as Andreacute; Masson once described it; a collective experience of individualism.
