Summary

Long considered to be an impenetrable, hermetic treatise, Walter Benjamin'sThe Origin of German Tragic Dramahas rarely received the attention it deserves as a key text, central to a full understanding of his work. In this critically acclaimed study, distinguished Benjamin scholar Beatrice Hanssen unlocks the philosophical and ethical dimensions of his thought with great clarity and sophisitication.
