THE LATEST RAGE THE BIG DRUM: DADA AND THE SURREALIST PERFORMANCE by Annabelle Melzer

UMI Research Press, 1980 First softcover edition, 272pp., 6" X 9" Softcover

Very good

In The Latest Rage, Melzer offers a fascinating history of early avant-garde performance that balances discussion of socio-historical contexts with meticulous analysis of the theoretical manifestoes and the dramatic scripts of figures like Kandinsky, Ball, Tzara and Breton. Highly recommended.
