Synopsis
David Gascoyne’s classic text of 1935 was the first comprehensive work on Surrealism to be published in English. Gascoyne’s membership of the Surrealist movement and his association with its leading members - among them André Breton, Paul Eluard, Max Ernst and Salvador Dalí - placed him in an ideal position to witness and record the development and significance of its foremost artists and writers. A Short Survey of Surrealism is not merely a history of the birth and growth of the movement but also a thorough analysis of the main ideas associated with it.

About the Author
"... Grant us extraordinary grace, O Spirit hidden in the dark in us and deep, And bring to light the dream out of our sleep." from "Kyrie" (Selected Poems). David Gascoyne’s death in November 2001 was marked by the lead obituaries in all the British broadsheets as well as in Le Monde. As a poet and translator he had been internationally renowned since the 1930s. He was the first chronicler in English of the Surrealist movement, and an essayist and reviewer of dazzling range. His association with Enitharmon Press dates back to 1970 and in the past decade there have been eight publications which will be a lasting testament of his importance.
