English literary surrealism

Since I've come back to the term in my last post, I should probably put this quote here as it's what got me thinking about the concept in the first place.

"Most definitely I say 'English' instead of 'British'. The British include the Scottish and Welsh, who have their own brand of surrealism. At least the Scottish do; the Welsh make do with simply being surreal. There's nothing remotely English about a Scottish surrealist writer such as Alasdair Gray, whose prose crackles, dances, does other tricks, in a member vehemently non-English. English surrealism is a distinctive brand. Rex Warner, J.B. Morton, W.E. Bowman, Vivian Stanshall, Kyril Bonfiglioli, a few others, adopt a mocking stance from the beginning. They just can't seem to take surrealism seriously: by which I mean that they tend to exploit the surreal for its comic inventiveness rather than for the light it sheds on the secret workings of the grim subconscious mind. 

"...The English surrealists were consequently far more theatrical than their continental counterparts - they had a liking for large casts and elaborate props, the complex and ineffable interconnections of clubs, galas, events, expeditions. Its all about the Show; and the Show must go on, far beyond the ridiculousness that once was the sublime. Rex Warner's bicycle race in pursuit of the proverbial and real Wild Goose; J.B. Morton's boomerang-shaped aeroplanes that save on the fuel for a return flight; W.E. Bowman's cruise in search of talking fish: these form a different order of surrealism from the one Breton originally envisaged, and conceivably he wouldn't even recognise the representative works of these authors as being 'surreal'." 

Rhys Hughes, Englebrecht Again!

'[A] few others' for Rhys would at the very least include Maurice Richardson (whose work Englebrecht Again! tributes), Michael Moorcock (Dancers at the End of Time), and the 'semi-surrealist' William Sansom. There must be others?

I confess, Moorcock, Richardson and Stanshall aside, to date I've read none of these gentlemen. This needs investigating further I feel.
