Benjamin's most sustained and original work, considered one of the main sources of literary modernism in the twentieth century.Cited by Lukcs as a principal source of literary modernism, Walter Benjamin’s study of the baroque stageform called Trauerspiel (literally, “mourning play”) is the most complete document of his prismatic literary and philosophical practice. Engaging with sixteenth and seventeenthcentury German playwrights as well as the plays of Shakespeare and Caldern and the engravings of Drer, Benjamin attempts to show how the historically charged forms of the Trauerspiel broke free of tragedy’s mythological timelessness. From its philosophical prologue, which offers a rare account of Benjamin’s early aesthetics, to its mindwrenching meditation on allegory, The Origin of German Tragic Drama sparkles with early insights and the seeds of Benjamin’s later thought.
