Bringing together the best critical essays on one of the most fascinating literary figures of our time, this book immediately takes its place as a major source for Benjamin scholarship. Hannah Arendt called Walter Benjamin "the outstanding literary critic of the twentieth century" when she introduced him to English-language readers in 1968 with the selection of essays entitled Illuminations. Since then, his life and work have entered the domain of literary legend. The seventeen essays collected here cover the full range of Benjamin's interests, from hashish to Goethe to the modern city. They include important critical essays by Gershom Scholem and Jürgen Habermas as well as several moving and evocative recollections of Benjamin by friends and colleagues such as Theodor Adorno and Ernst Bloch. Gary Smith served as coeditor of the seventh volume of Benjamin's Gesammelte Schriften and prepared both the German and English editions of Benjamin's Moscow Diary.

DESCRIPTION - Bringing together the best critical essays on one of the most fascinating literary figures of our time, this book immediately takes its place as a major secondary source for Benjamin scholarship. Hannah Arendt called Walter Benjamin 'the outstanding literary critic of the twentieth century,' and his reputation has grown steadily since she introduced him to English-language readers in 1968 with the selection of essays entitled Illuminations. Although the translation of his work into English has been slow in coming, Benjamin has become something of a literary legend; the legend encompasses both his life and his work - a diverse and thoughtful series of writings on art, culture, and society - and the tragic circumstances surrounding his suicide at Port Bou in 1940. The twelve critical essays collected here are by contemporaries of Benjamin as well as by younger scholars. Covering the full range of his interests, from hashish to Goethe to the modern city, they include important essays by Gershom Scholem, Jurgen Habermas, and Charles Rosen. There are also several moving and evocative recollections of Benjamin by friends and colleagues such as Theodor Adorno and Ernst Bloch. Each essay is introduced by the editor. inventory #18766.
