Versuche über Brecht

Inhalt

The majority of these studies, by one of the outstanding critics of this century, were set down in the years of emigration from Nazi Germany, when Benjamin was a personal friend of Brecht's. Most remained unpublished in the author's lifetime, a few were printed in the short-lived periodicals of exile. Their publication, more than twenty-years after Benjamin's death, revealed him to be Brecht's first and most profound critic.
