The Cambridge Introduction to
Walter Benjamin
For students of modern criticism and theory, Walter Benjamin's
writings have become essential reading. His analyses of photography,
film, language, material culture, and the poet Charles Baudelaire, and
his vast examination of the social, political, and historical significance of
the Arcades of nineteenth-century Paris have left an enduring and
important critical legacy. This volume examines in detail a substantial
selection of his important critical writings on these topics from
1916
to
1940
and outlines his life in pre-war Germany, his association with the
Frankfurt School, and the dissemination of his ideas and methodologies
into a variety of academic disciplines since his death. David Ferris traces
the development of Benjamin's key critical concepts and provides
students with an accessible overview of the life, work, and thought of one
of the twentieth century's most important literary and cultural critics.
David S. Ferris is Professor of Comparative Literature at the University
of Colorado at Boulder. |
