From the jacket flap
This collection of nine essays focuses on those writings of Walter Benjamin (1892-1940) on literature and language that have a direct relevance to contemporary literary theory, notably his analyses of myth, violence, history, criticism, literature, and mass media.
In an introductory essay, David S. Ferris discusses the problem of history, aura, and resistance in Benjamin's later work and in its reception. Samuel Weber, in a reading of Benjamin's most influential essay, "The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction," analyzes the status of the image and technology in Benjamin's own terms and in the shadow of Heidegger. Rodolphe Gasche devotes himself to an analysis of Benjamin's dissertation on the German Romantics, providing a valuable guide to a major text that has yet to appear in English translation.
