Surrealism in Latin American literature

"Charting surrealism in Latin American literature from its inital appearance in Argentina in 1928 to the surrealist-inspired work of several writers in the 1970s, Melanie Nicholson argues that the literary movement exercised a significant and positive influence over twentieth-century Latin American literature, particularly poetry. Within the framework of literary and cultural history, this ... book offers close readings of surrealist texts--many of which appear here for the first time in English translation--and traces the heterodox ways in which Latin American writers, far from merely mimicking French surrealist principles or techniques, fashioned an aesthetic that reflected their distinct individual and cultural realities"--Cover, p. [4].
