{"product_id":"surrealist-women-penelope-rosemont-9780292770881","title":"Surrealist Women: An International Anthology","description":"\u003cp\u003eBeginning in Paris in the 1920s, women poets, essayists, painters, and artists in other media have actively collaborated in defining and refining surrealism's basic project--achieving a higher, open, and dynamic consciousness, from which no aspect of the real or the imaginary is rejected. Indeed, few artistic or social movements can boast as many women forebears, founders, and participants--perhaps only feminism itself. Yet outside the movement, women's contributions to surrealism have been largely ignored or simply unknown.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis anthology, the first of its kind in any language, displays the range and significance of women's contributions to surrealism. Letting surrealist women speak for themselves, Penelope Rosemont has assembled nearly three hundred texts by ninety-six women from twenty-eight countries. She opens the book with a succinct summary of surrealism's basic aims and principles, followed by a discussion of the place of gender in the movement's origins. She then organizes the book into historical periods ranging from the 1920s to the present, with introductions that describe trends in the movement during each period. Rosemont also prefaces each surrealist's work with a brief biographical statement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Penelope Rosemont\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 029277088X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780292770881\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Texas Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 576\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.01h x 6.03w x 1.28d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/1998","brand":"Penelope Rosemont","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43946391961855,"sku":"9780292770881","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_79b3046d-1025-4e27-b27b-f3263aa3cbb1.jpg?v=1681512884","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/surrealist-women-penelope-rosemont-9780292770881","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
