The first full-length title in English on the celebrated photographer Claude Cahun whose work was rediscovered in the 1980s.This lively and original book looks at Cahun and her oeuvre in the contexts of the turbulent times in which she lived.

She also pays attention to her curious images of constructed objects and re-evaluates the status of Cahun's small-scale snapshots as photographs.Enormously readable, 'Claude
