On the Thirteenth Stroke of Midnight

Overview

The British surrealist movement was overshadowed by World War II, yet contributions were vibrant and durable. Placing the work in the wider European context of literary surrealism, this is a fascinating anthology of British surrealist writing with a particular focus on poetry. Including various stimulating original texts—previously unpublished manifestoes, declarations, poems, and more—this book’s appeal is wide ranging.
