Surrealist Poetry in English
The surrealist movement was founded in France in 1924, brother of the anarchist Dada, heir of experiments in 19th century literature. In England, the movement arose as the logical evolution of 19th century literature's dominant concern - the psychopathology of the artist's mind. Being unconcerned with conventional morality, it had few affinities with the humanist tradition of literature and saw the classical tradition as antithetical to literature altogether. This book examines surrealist poetry in English literature.

I had Dr. Germain as a teacher about a year ago at Phillips Academy, Andover, and after my first day of classes, I knew this man was a genius. Throughout the year, I improved my writing as well as my knowledge and desire to learn. He is quite possibily the best teacher I have ever had. I heard he is retiring this year, and I wish him all the best. In case he reads this, Dr. G, thanks a lot for everything.

Edward Germain should be up there with Shakespeare and Joyce...his descritpion and research of surrealism is beyond his days.
