The Language of Surrealism explores the revolutionary experiments
in language and mind undertaken by the surrealists across Europe
between the wars. Highly influential on the development of art,
literary modernism, and current popular culture, surrealist style
remains challenging, striking, resonant and thrilling - and the
techniques by which surrealist writing achieves this are set out
clearly in this book. Stockwell draws on recent work in cognitive
poetics and literary linguistics to re-evaluate surrealism in its
own historical setting. In the process, the book questions later
critical theoretical views of language that have distorted our
ideas about both surrealism and language itself. What follows is a
piece of literary criticism that is fully contextualised,
historically sensitive, and textually driven, and which sets out in
rich and readable detail this most intriguing and disturbing
literature.
