The boundaries of Walter Benjamin's work still resist
classification and demarcation. His writings, including the
best-known collection, Illuminations, remain an uneasy but
thrilling combination of the actual and the mystical, of Marxism
and the messianic utopianism.
This collection shows how extraordinarily substantial were the
footholds which Benjamin supplied: Irving Wohlfarth takes up the
troubling question of historical understanding versus historicism
in his essay The Actuality of Walter Benjamin. Also included are
essays on Benjamin and the sources of Judaism, feminism and
cultural analysis, and images in Benjamin's novels and other
writings.
