Cited by Luk塶s as a principal source of literary modernism, Walter Benjamin study of the baroque stage-form called Trauerspiel (literally, ourning play? is the most complete document of his prismatic literary and philosophical practice. Engaging with sixteenth- and seventeenth-century German playwrights as well as the plays of Shakespeare and Calder鏮 and the engravings of Der, Benjamin attempts to show how the historically charged forms of the Trauerspiel broke free of tragedy mythological timelessness. From its philosophical prologue, which offers a rare account of Benjamin early aesthetics, to its mind-wrenching meditation on allegory, The Origin of German Tragic Drama sparkles with early insights and the seeds of Benjamin later thought.
