Searching for Breton's Ghost

Charting surrealism in Latin American literature from its initial appearance in Argentina in 1928 to the surrealist-inspired work of several writers in the 1970s, Melanie Nicholson argues that surrealism has exercised a significant and positive influence over twentieth-century Latin American literature, particularly poetry.

Rezensionen

"Nicholson offers an excellent, very useful work that traces a line of surrealist and surrealist-inspired texts in Latin America from 1928 to 1980. Scholarly studies exist of surrealism across various countries, or of poetry or painting alone in a single country (e.g., Argentina, Mexico). But few (perhaps none) have tried to analyze succinctly in a short work so many decades, countries, and genres." - CHOICE
