One Hundred Years of Surrealist Poetry
Bloomsbury Academic USA (Verlag)
978-1-5013-9372-3 (ISBN)
As Willard Bohn demonstrates, Surrealism was not just a French phenomenon but one that eventually encompassed much of the world. Concentrating on the movement’s theory and practice, this extraordinarily broad-ranging book documents the spread of Surrealism throughout the western hemisphere and examines keys texts, critical responses, and significant writers. The latter include three extraordinarily talented individuals who were eventually awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature (Andre Breton, Pablo Neruda, and Octavio Paz). Like their Surrealist colleagues, they strove to free human beings from their unconscious chains so that they could realize their true potential.
One Hundred Years of Surrealist Poetry explores not only the birth but also the ongoing life of a major literary movement.
Willard Bohn is Distinguished Professor Emeritus at Illinois State University, USA. He is the author of over 130 articles and 20 books on the early avant-garde, Cubism, Dada, Surrealism, Italian Futurism, and visual poetry, including The Early Avant-Garde in Twentieth-Century Literature and Art (2018) and Surrealist Poetry: An Anthology (edited, translated, and critical introduction, Bloomsbury, 2017).
