Summary

Emerging from the disruption of the First World War, surrealism confronted the resulting 'crisis of consciousness' in a way that was arguably more profound than any other cultural movement of the time. The past few decades have seen an expansion of interest in surrealist writers, whose contribution to the history of ideas in the twentieth-century is only now being recognised.

An international team of contributors provide an accessible examination of the key concepts, emphasising their relevance to current debates in social and cultural theory.
