Surrealism is a particularly complex international movement,
embracing both the literary and the visual arts, while lacking any
single visual or literary style, and this, together with its long
existence, has served to generate a very substantial body of
writings - poetry, novels, essays, theoretical writings,
manifestoes and other documents - which might be considered as
fundamental to any proper understanding of the movement. The
Sources of Surrealism is a comprehensive sourcebook documenting the
origins and development of Surrealism internationally through a
collection of 234 original documents. The texts have been selected
from across the whole range of Surrealist writing, as well as
including influential predecessors like Rimbaud and Lautreamont,
and contemporaries such as Raymond Roussel and Alfred Jarry. Texts
are published in English throughout, with new translations provided
for previously untranslated material. The book addresses for the
first time the neglected area of the relationship between
Surrealism and popular culture, including Surrealism's engagement
with cinema, and attempts to address the increased critical
interest in what in the past were more neglected figures, such as
Michel Leiris and Georges Bataille. Particular emphasis is given to
the earlier documents and influences upon the Surrealist movement,
as well as to the period of its internationalism during the 1930s,
and the texts cover Surrealism in Britain and Belgium as well as
France. This fascinating collection presents what was most vital
about this complex and often contradictory movement, and serves as
an essential reference book for scholars, as well as stimulating
reading for all those with a general interest in the subject.
