Description:

This book reveals how a transgressive strand of Surrealist art and thought emerged in France in the late 1930s, a strand that is underpinned by an increasing openness to sexual alterity. Surrealist works with this subversive aspect are presented as actively countering the repressive effects of a socially conservative France.
