Harvard University Press has now undertaken to publish a significant portion of his work in definitive translation, under the general editorship of Michael W. Jennings. This volume, the first of three, will at last give readers of English a true sense of the man & the many facets of his thought. (The magnum opus of Benjamin's Paris years, "The Arcades Project", has been published in a separate volume.) Walter Benjamin emerged from the head-on collision of an idealistic youth movement & the First World War, which Benjamin & his close friends thought immoral. He walked away from the wreck, scarred yet determined "to be considered as the principal critic of German literature." But the scene, as he found it, was dominated by "talented fakes," so?to use his words?"only a terrorist campaign would I suffice" to effect radical change. This book offers the record of the first phase of that campaign, culminating w/ "One Way Street," one of the most significant products of the German avant-garde of the Twenties. Against conformism, homogeneity, & gentrification of all life into a new world order, Benjamin made the word his sword. Volume I of the "Selected Writings" brings together essays long & short, academic treatises, reviews, fragments, & privately circulated pronouncements. Fully five-sixths of this material has never before been translated into English. The contents begin in 1913, when Benjamin, as an undergraduate in imperial Germany, was president of a radical youth group, & take us through 1926, when he had already begun, w/ his explorations of the world of mass culture, to emerge as a critical voice in Weimar Germany's most influential journals. The volume includes a number of his most important works, including "Two Poems by Friedrich Hölderlin," "Goethe's Elective Affinities," "The Concept of Criticism in German Romanticism," "The Task of the Translator," and "One Way Street." He is as compelling & insightful when musing on riddles or children's books as he is when dealing w/ weightier issues such as the philosophy of language, symbolic logic, or epistemology. We meet Benjamin the youthful idealist, the sober moralist, the political theorist, the experimentalist, the translator, &, above all, the virtual king of criticism, w/ his magisterial exposition of the basic problems of aesthetics. Benjamin's sentences provoke us to return to them again & again, luring us as though w/ the promise of some final revelation that is always being postponed. He is by turns fierce & tender, melancholy & ebullient; he is at once classically rooted, even archaic, in his explorations of the human psyche & the world of things, & strikingly progressive in his attitude toward society & what he likes to call the organs of the collective (its architectures, fashions, signboards). Throughout, he displays a far-sighted urgency, judging the present on the basis of possible futures. And he is gifted w/ a keen sense of humor. Mysterious though he may sometimes be (his Latvian love, Asia Lacis, once described him as a visitor from another planet), Benjamin remains perhaps the most consistently surprising & challenging of critical writers. * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL (or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee) & via USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL.
