What is Surrealist women's writing: A critical exploration (Manchester University Press) about?
Featuring original essays by leading scholars of surrealism, Surrealist women’s writing offers the first sustained critical inquiry into the writing of women associated with surrealism. The volume aims to demonstrate the extensiveness and the historical, linguistic, and culturally contextual breadth of this writing, as well as to highlight how the specifically surrealist poetics and politics that characterise these writers’ work intersect with and contribute to contemporary debates on, for example, gender, sexuality, subjectivity, xenophobia, anthropocentrism and the environment. Drawing on a variety of innovative theoretical approaches, the essays in the volume focus on the writing of a number of women surrealists, who have been known mostly 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.
