Publisher's Note
In the first full-length biography in English of Andre Breton, the founder and prime theorist of the French Surrealist movement, Mark Polizzotti reveals the intellectual, artistic and personal life of one of our century's most influential and charismatic cultural figures, a man whom Eugene Ionesco dubbed "one of the four or five great reformers of modern thought". This definitive work traces Breton's artistic career, from his participation in the Paris Dada group in the 1920s, through his seminal experiments with automatic writings and "induced slumbers", to the development of Surrealism proper and the literary, aesthetic, social, and political successes and scandals of that most influential modernist movement. Polizzotti reconstructs Breton's intense and formative friendships with Man Ray, Duchamp, Dali, and Miro, among others; his legendary encounters with Trotsky, Freud, and Sartre; and his several marriages and love affairs.

Industry reviews
"Breton vigorously denied that Surrealism was an aesthetic theory, preferring to believe that it was a comprehensive philosophy of life. About that, however, he was repeatedly proved to be mistaken. It was only as an art movement--in literature, painting sculpture and film--that surrealism achieved its undeniable successes. It is because Mr. Polizzotti gives us such a detailed account of Breton's role in those successes that 'Revolution of the Mind', which is really about a revolution in taste and style, is an important book."
Wall Street Journal - Hilton Kramer (08/10/1995)

"Mark Polizzotti has written the portrait of an intransigent, uncompromising genius who founded the most characteristic artistic movement of our century. In painting his vast canvas Polizzotti has demonstrated his mastery of intellectual history, the intracacies of Parisian literary politics, Breton's own complex psychology and the subtleties of artistic influence. How astonishing that this summum should be a first book."
Book Jacket - Edmund White 

"Better than a history of Surrealism, this evenhanded biography of Breton lets us live a movement from the inside looking out. Its all here--pranks, loves, politics. With cool authority, Polizzotti reveals the most influential artistic movement of the twentieth century as essentially opposed to art."
Book Jacket - Roger Shattuck 

" ...Mr. Polizzotti has produced a substantial work. While mapping a wide area of French literary and artistic life between the wars, he offers much, the most complete portrait available in English or French of Surrealism's magister ludi."
New York Times Book Review - Frederick Brown (09/03/1995)

"Mark Polizzotti's biography of Breton is wonderfully thorough. He has been helped by Breton's family, who granted him access to Breton's sealed papers, but he has also read vastly and talked to everyone he could trace....[Breton] was not a likeable human being, often a voyeur of others' catastrophes and a lifelong user of green ink, but he had a vision strong enough to persuade many of the best writers and painters of his time that he could lead them to a new world."
Times Literary Supplement - Lachlan Mackinnon (05/03/1996)

"Polizzotti recounts Breton's relations with not only the famous (the unimpressed Freud and the philistine Trotsky) but also the biographically problematic--the enigmatic dandy Jacques Vache and the half-mad 'Nadja,' both of whom Breton mythologized in his work."
Kramer
