The surviving correspondence between Walter Benjamin and Theodor W.
Adorno, which appears in this volume in its entirety in English
translation, documents one of the most remarkable and intense
intellectual relationships of modern times. In over 100 letters,
which range from brief and cordial exchanges to dense and detailed
theoretical elucidations, it is possible to trace the complex and
developing character of Benjamin's and Adorno's attitudes to one
another, and not least to many of their mutual friends, like
Sholem, Bloch and Brecht. The correspondence also reveals the
considerable lengths to which Adorno went in furthering Benjamin's
interests intellectually and financially, and provides further
insight into the cultural politics of the period and those of the
Institute for Social Research. Both correspondents express their
sharply formulated opinions in an extremely candid and vivid
fashion.
