The Surrealism Reader. An anthology of ideas

The Surrealism Reader is the latest in a successful series of critical anthologies that have become essential touchstones for students, scholars and all those interested in art history.\nThe Reader features writings by leading surrealists, including Aragon, Artaud, Bataille, Breton, Caillois, Crevel, Dalí, Eluard, Mabille, Magritte, Morise and Tzara. It also serves as an introduction to major writers in surrealism whose work is largely unknown to English readers, such as Georges Henein, René Alleau, Gérard Legrand and Annie Le Brun. Giving space to the many different voices that made up the movement, and placing them within a clear and coherent historical framework, the Reader will be an essential reference for all those interested in the central place of surrealism within twentieth century culture.
