This book was originally published in 1999, and is the first
comprehensive study of the British surrealist movement and its
achievements. Lavishly illustrated, the book provides a
year-by-year narrative of the development of surrealism among
artists, writers, critics and theorists in Britain. Surrealism was
imported into Britain from France by pioneering little magazines.
The 1936 International Surrealist Exhibition in London, put
together by Herbert Read and Roland Penrose, marked the first
attempt to introduce the concept to a wider public. Relations with
the Soviet Union, the Spanish Civil War and World War Two fractured
the nascent movement as writers and artists worked out their
individual responses and struggled to earn a living in wartime. The
book follows the story right through to the present day. Michael
Remy draws on 20 years of studying British surrealism to provide
this authoritative and biographically rich account, a major
contribution to the understanding of the achievements of the
artists and writers involved and their allegiance to this key
twentieth-century movement.
