Benjamin's Arcades: An unGuided Tour
The Arcades Project, Walter Benjamin's unfinished masterpiece, is a brilliant but maddening book. This book looks for the method behind the madness, carefully reconstructing the intellectual and political context of the work and unpacking its numerous analogies, metaphors and conceptual gambits. Written by three literary scholars and one historian, this text is both a reading companion and a vigorous interpretation of one of the most important humanistic texts of the twentieth century.
