Walter Benjamin: A Critical Life

By Michael W. Jennings, Howard Eiland, Alvise La Rocca

Book Overview

Walter Benjamin was perhaps the twentieth century's most elusive intellectual. His writings defy categorization, and his improvised existence has proven irresistible to mythologizers. In a major new biography, Howard Eiland and Michael Jennings present a comprehensive portrait of the man and his times, as well as extensive commentary on his work.
