Walter Benjamin's most famous and influential essay remains "The
Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction." Walter Benjamin
and the Work of Art is the first book to provide a broad and
dedicated analysis of this canonical work and its effect upon core
contemporary concerns in the visual arts, aesthetics and the
history of philosophy. The book is structured around three distinct
areas: the extension of Benjamin's work; the question of historical
connection; the importance of the essay in the development of
criticism of both the visual arts and literature. Contributors to
the volume include major Benjain commentators, whose work has very
much defined the reception of the essay, and leading philosophers,
historians and aesthetician, whose approaches open up new areas of
interest and relevance.
