Szymborska and Surrealism Before and after the Second World War, Polish artists, poets and critics were attentive to Surrealism, though not always explicitly. In the 40s and 50s, Surrealism was seen as an antidote to the stifling socialist realism, a synonym for the absurd and nonsense. The essay proposes the hypothesis that Wisława Szymborska also fell under its spell and was inspired by the manifestos, declarations, paremiological, gnomic and literary works of André Breton’s movement, and especially by the poetry of Paul Eluard, which was well known and translated (including by Szymborska) in post-war Poland.

Abstract
Szymborska and Surrealism Before and after the Second World War, Polish artists, poets and critics were attentive to Surrealism, though not always explicitly. In the 40s and 50s, Surrealism was seen as an antidote to the stifling socialist realism, a synonym for the absurd and nonsense. The essay proposes the hypothesis that Wisława Szymborska also fell under its spell and was inspired by the manifestos, declarations, paremiological, gnomic and literary works of André Breton’s movement, and especially by the poetry of Paul Eluard, which was well known and translated (including by Szymborska) in post-war Poland.File in questo prodotto:
