David Gascoyne (10 October 1916 – 25 November 2001) was an English poet associated with the Surrealist movement. ==Early life and Surrealism== Gascoyne was born in Harrow the eldest of the three sons of Leslie Noel Gascoyne (1886–1969), a bank clerk, and his wife, Winifred Isobel, née Emery (1890–1972). His mother, a niece of the actors Cyril Maude and Winifred Emery, was one of two young women present when dramatist W. S. Gilbert died in his lake at Grim's Dyke in May 1911.〔Goodman, Andrew. ''Grim's Dyke: A Short History of the House and Its Owners'', Glittering Prizes ISBN 978-1-85811-550-4, pp. 17–18〕 Gascoyne grew up in England and Scotland and attended Salisbury Cathedral School and Regent Street Polytechnic in London. He spent part of the early 1930s in Paris. His first book, ''Roman Balcony and Other Poems'', was published in 1932, when he was sixteen.〔(Obituary:David Gascoyne ) Valentine Cunningham, ''The Guardian'', 27 November 2001. Retrieved 17 June 2014.〕 A novel, ''Opening Day'', was published the following year.〔 However, it was ''Man's Life is This Meat'' (1936), which collected his early surrealist work and translations of French surrealists, and ''Hölderlin's Madness'' (1938) that established his reputation. These publications, together with his 1935 ''A Short Survey of Surrealism'' and his work on the 1936 London International Surrealist Exhibition, which he helped to organise, made him one of a small group of English surrealists that included Hugh Sykes Davies and Roger Roughton. Ironically, at this exhibition, Gascoyne had to rescue Salvador Dalí from the deep-sea diving suit—that Dalí had worn to give his lecture—using a spanner. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「David Gascoyne」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
