Bøker i Kritik: German Literary Theory and Cultural Studies Series-serien

This biography of Walter Benjamin provides an introduction to his thought.

Looks at the life and writings of cultural critic Aby Warburg through the prism of Warburg's little-known political views. This work argues, based on archival research, that Warburg's work and teachings developed as a reaction to the growing anti-Semitism in Germany, which he saw as a threat to classical education and university scholarship.
