The Routledge Companion to Surrealism

The Routledge Companion to Surrealism

This book provides a conceptual and global overview of the field of Surrealist studies. Methodologically the companion considers Surrealism’s many achievements but also its historical shortcomings to illuminate its connections to the historical and cultural moment(s) from which it originated and to assess both the ways in which it still shapes our world in inspiring ways and the ways in which it might appear problematic as we look back at it from a twenty-first-century vantage point. Contributions from experienced scholars will enable professors to teach the subject more broadly by opening their eyes to aspects of the field that are on the margins of their expertise and it will enable scholars to identify new areas of study in their own work by indicating lines of research at a tangent to their own. The companion will reflect the interdisciplinarity of Surrealism by incorporating discussions pertaining to the visual arts as well as literature film and political and intellectual history. | The Routledge Companion to Surrealism
