Publisher's Synopsis

The most famous literary experiments conducted by the surrealist group in Paris in its early days were centred around the idea of Automatic Writing'. This book collects together the two most important texts produced using this method: 'The Magnetic Fields' and 'The Immaculate Conception'. They are prefaced by an essay by Breton which discusses the issues raised by automatism, its history and potential.'
