Anthology of surrealism in England
Published, translated into French and prefaced by Michel Remy
Hardly published in French and therefore unavailable, English surrealist poetry desserves our best attention for its febrility and authenticity. Haunted by the preparations for the Second World War, and then by the war itself, it is a survivor of hard times. With its attitude to question again and again and to challenge the consistency of things, works and events, with its acceptance of the unique and the evanescent, it shows, as from 1936, the persistence of the "surrealist spirit".
The book includes, in addition to the manifestoes of the surrealist group in England, two hundred pages of poems and texts (1935-1980) by Roland Penrose, David Gascoyne, Emmy Bridgwater, Ithell Colquhoun, Simon Watson Taylor, Humphrey Jennings, Toni Del Renzio and many others. You will also find a dictionary and a chronology at the end of the book, and "Au treizième coup de miniut" brings together approximately fifty drawings by English surrealist artists (Desmond Morris, Ithell Colquhoun, Emmy Bridgwater, Anthony Earnshaw, John Welson, Conroy Maddox, Rimmington Edith).
