Description
Walter Benjamin's Selected Writings offers a unique insight into the life and thought of one of the twentieth century's most influential critical voices. For the first time in English, this volume brings together essays, treatises, reviews, fragments, and privately circulated pronouncements that showcase Benjamin's radical critique of modern society. Benjamin emerged from a tumultuous period in his youth, shaped by an idealistic movement and the devastating impact of the First World War. His writing is characterized by a fierce opposition to conformism and homogeneity, as he sought to challenge the dominant cultural forces of his time. This collection presents the first phase of Benjamin's campaign against these forces, culminating in works such as "One Way Street," a significant product of the German avant-garde of the Twenties. With fully five-sixths of this material previously untranslated into English, Selected Writings provides a valuable opportunity for readers to engage with Benjamin's work in its entirety.
