| Abstract
|
:
|
"Why is the Spanish input to Surrealism so distinctive and strong? What do such renowned figures as Dali, Bunuel, Lorca, Aleixandre and Alberti have in common? This book untangles the issue of Surrealism in Spain by focusing on a consistent feature in Spanish avant-garde poetry, art and film of the late twenties and thirties: its supersaturation in religion."--Jacket.
