Information About

Europa Press




The Europa Press is important in the history of 20th Century Irish Poetry because it published early work by Reavey, Brian Coffey , Denis Devlin and Samuel Beckett and in a wider context of literary and surrealist history because it published the first ever collection of English Language versions of work by Paul Eluard . This was published to coincide with the opening of the International Surrealist Exhibition in 1936 and featured a drawing by Pablo Picasso and a preface by Herbert Read , and the translators included Reavey, Beckett, Devlin, David Gascoyne , Man Ray and Ruthven Todd .
