Jeannette Baxter

J.G. Ballard's Surrealist Imagination (eBook, ePUB)

Spectacular Authorship

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Making the case that J. G. Ballard's fiction must be read within the framework of Surrealism, Jeannette Baxter argues for a radical revisioning of Ballard that takes account of the political and ethical dimensions of his work. A very different portrait of Ballard emerges, one that has implications for our understanding of post-war history and culture, the role of the reader and the function of the written text within a predominantly visual culture.
