Walter Benjamin (1892-1940) was the quintessential European
intellectual between the two world wars. Historian, philosopher,
literary critic, student of language and culture, and journalist,
the independent scholar was forever trying to define himself and
his time as products of a tradition in crisis. In a very real
sense, Benjamin's life and work were one--a chronicle of the modern
European intellectual and mirror of an era. Bernd Witte's
interpretive biography introduces Benjamin through critical thought
and through topics and authors that ignited Benjamin's work. For
the first time, English readers have the opportunity to survey the
facts surrounding Benjamin's life and assess the interpretations of
his texts. Witte's quest for Benjamin's own perspective yields a
full chronology and sympathetic mastery of Benjamin's ideas. The
German edition, titled Walter Benjamin: Einfiihrung in Leben und
Werk, was published in 1985.
