Purchase options and add-ons

One of the most influential cultural movements of the past century, surrealism has been extensively studied within the framework of its contributions to art and literature—but its pivotal role in the development of intellectual ideas, both political and philosophical, has yet to be fully explored. Featuring writings from the 1920s up to the late 1990s, this anthology—the first of its kind in English—finally reveals surrealism’s diverse scope, its deep contributions to the history of ideas, and its profound implications for contemporary thought.

Including essays by leading surrealists and other major writers on the movement, the volume addresses the key themes of identity, otherness, freedom and morality, and poetry. The texts uncover, among other things, the significance of surrealism for the antifascist and anticolonialist movements and the various manifestations of surrealism in the years after World War II. Giving space to the many different voices that made up the movement, and placing them for the first time within a clear and coherent historical framework, The Surrealism Reader radically revises the popular understanding of what, and when, surrealism was—making this book an essential reference for students, scholars, and all those interested in the central place of surrealism within twentieth-century thought and culture.

    5.0 out of 5 stars but this is a great place for anyone to start in exploration of this ...
    Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    The authors are correct in noting (just after intro) that this genre is vast and trying to wrangle it down to one book is nearly impossible, but this is a great place for anyone to start in exploration of this genre. Just started my read, so far it's a great read.

    5.0 out of 5 stars An unprecedented and important publication
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 2, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    An unprecedented collection of texts, really important for understanding surrealism, from a wide range of authors. All the editors deserve praise and a congratulation to the Tate for publishing this. Many of the authors will not be familiar to the average reader, but are important within surrealism and had important things to say about the movement's perspectives. They include Annie Le Brun, Vincent Bounoure, Roger Caillois and Vratislav Effenberger as well as better known writers such as Breton and Aragon.
    It's nicely and solidly produced and has some good and unusual illustrations, including Emila Medkova, among the most important post-war surrealist photographers.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Well researched
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 12, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    A well researched and well written book though I found it quite hard to understand some of the theory expounded by the surrealists.
