Stories, novels, correspondence and short texts by Xavier Forneret, French Romantic writer, precursor of the Surrealist movement.
A French Romantic poet virtually unknown in his day, Xavier Forneret (1809-1884) was the author of an original body of work, marked by the macabre and the unusual, which was self-published and then rescued from oblivion by the Surrealists, who considered Forneret a precursor of automatic writing.
