The book is divided into 78 passages, from one to a few sentences in length. Each of the passages becomes its own commentarial unit, consisting of a Benjaminian interlinear box, a paraphrase, a commentary, and a list of other commentators who have engaged the specific passage in question. Because the passages cover the entire text of the essay in sequence, reading straight through the book provides the reader with an augmented experience of reading the essay.
Robinson's commentary is key reading for scholars and postgraduate students of translation, comparative literature, and critical theory.
Reviews / Votes
"Douglas Robinson meticulously probes Benjamin's essay. He provides interlinear translations of text passages with clarifying paraphrases for each thematic section before embarking on his commentary. While this facilitates readers' access to a text widely regarded as enigmatic, Robinson takes great care not to overwrite the 'cryptic story' and Benjamin's mysticism. A valuable contribution that introduces new perspectives on the essay - and required reading for Benjamin scholars."Dilek Dizdar, Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz, Germany
