On the Thirteenth Stroke of Midnight by Michel Remy

The British surrealist movement was, as it were, ploughed under by the Second World War which was gathering force. Yet Surrealist output was vibrant and durable, and now takes its place in the wider European context of literary Surrealism. Remy's anthology represents one aspect of British poetry between 1930 and 1980.
Michel Remy is Professor of English Literature and Art History at the University of Nice and the leading authority on British Surrealism. He has published four books and over fifty articles on the subject. His anthology On the Thirteenth Stroke of Midnight: An Anthology of Surrealist Poetry in Britain (Carcanet, 2013) can be considered as a companion volume to his Surrealism in Britain (Lund Humphries, 2001), the first comprehensive study of the movement and its achievements.
