McAra fills a major gap in the scholarship, repositioning Tanning's writing at the centre of her entire creative oeuvre and focusing on a little-known short story \"Abyss,\" a gothic-flavoured, desert adventure which Tanning worked on intermittently throughout her creative life, finally publishing it in 2004 as \u003ci\u003eChasm: A Weekend\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMcAra performs a major reassessment of the visual and literary principles upon which the surrealist movement was initially founded. Combining a groundbreaking methodological approach with reference to cultural theory and feminist aesthetics as well as Tanning's unpublished journals and notes, McAra reveals Tanning as a key player in contemporary art practice as well as in the historical surrealist milieu.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46930960187543,"sku":"9781032339825","price":3818.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781032339825.webp?v=1771610114","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/a-surrealist-stratigraphy-of-dorothea-tannings-chasm-9781032339825","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
