Artaud Anthology

Edited and translated in part by Jack Hirschman, Artaud Anthology gathers poetry, letters, manifestos, essays, and other writings from Antonin Artaud’s radical body of work. The selections move through theater, language, pain, spirituality, madness, and the limits of artistic expression with the intensity that made Artaud a central figure in twentieth-century experimental literature. This compact collection offers an entry point into a writer whose ideas influenced performance, poetry, criticism, and the avant-garde.
