Beschreibung

Wrappers (in plain brown paper wrappers). Covers slightly frayed at top of spine, some spotting of edges and prelims. Edition limited to 525 numbered copies, "for issue to a small circle of subscribers, including scholars, sociologists, psychiatrists, anthropologists, and legists", this copy from the library of the poet David Gascoyne, with the Gascoyne library book-label. "It is inevitable that a survey of Surrealism should begin by going back to Sade, for he is in many ways the starting point of the great Romantic movement that rolled across the last century like a theatrical thunderstorm" (David Gascoyne, A Short Survey of Surrealism). Sade was misrepresented, said Paul Eluard. "Over his indomitable spirit all the diehards have drivelled.". Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers G101638
