The Surrealism Reader: An Anthology of Ideas | Michael Richardson, Dawn Ades, Krzysztof Fija?kowski
Surrealism is among the most influential and talked about ideas of the 20th century. While its contribution to the art and literature of the centry is well known, its relation to the development of intellectual ideas has only recently become a matter of investigation. This book details the surrealist engagement with specific issues in the intellectual history of the 20th century, drawing together essays from the whole history of surrealism to illustrate the tenacity and consistency with which the surrealists have treated themes of psychological reality and the construction of identity, cultural communication, freedom and poetry.
