The Challenge of Surrealism: The Correspondence of Theodor W. Adorno and Elisabeth Lenk

Now appearing in English for the first time, the correspondence between philosopher Theodor W. Adorno and his graduate student Elisabeth Lenk provides a rich mine of critical material for reassessing the significance of the surrealist movement and its successors. Written between 1962 and 1969, these letters are accompanied by a selection of documents that contextualize their engagement with the art and politics of the period.
