Reviews

'Provocative, dissident, surprising, international in focus, historically grounded: Vivienne Brough Evans' book is everything one would wish for in a study of literary surrealism and avant-garde prose. It will help redraw the map of twentieth-century literary history.' Peter Hulme, University of Essex, UK 'Through highly original readings and inspired conjunctions of literary sources, Vivienne Brough-Evans has wrought a surprising, rich and thoughtful study; she has most usefully extended the borders of surrealism as they have been drawn till now, and re-oriented concepts of the sacred and its role in imagining and making community.' Marina Warner, CBE, President, British Comparative Literature Association, UK
