Featuring original essays by leading scholars of surrealism, Surrealist women's writing: A critical exploration is the first sustained critical inquiry into the writing of women associated with surrealism. The volume demonstrates the extent and the historical, linguistic, and culturally contextual breadth of this writing, and highlights how the specifically surrealist poetics and politics that characterise these writers' work intersects with and contributes to contemporary debates on, for example, gender, sexuality, subjectivity, otherness, anthropocentrism, and the environment. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Drawing on a variety of innovative theoretical approaches, the essays in the volume focus on the writing of numerous women surrealists, many of whom have hitherto mainly been known for their visual rather than their literary production. These include Claude Cahun, Leonora Carrington, Kay Sage, Colette Peignot, Suzanne Césaire, Unica Zürn, Ithell Colquhoun, Leonor Fini, Dorothea Tanning, and Rikki Ducornet. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Surrealist women's writing: A critical exploration offers an important resource for scholars and students across the fields of modernist literature, the historical avant-garde, literary and visual surrealism and its legacies, feminism, and critical theory.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnna Watz is Senior Lecturer in English at Linköping University, Sweden\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 264\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.56 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 18, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42120411021447,"sku":"9781526167156","price":37.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/47f5ae73f3cf6782279bac228476e714.webp?v=1732547098","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/surrealist-womens-writing-a-critical-exploration-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
