- Double-weighted statement
- This book pursues a new reading of Benjamin that departs from the familiar emphasis on the aesthetic theories of German Romanticism and instead examines Goethe’s classicism as a counterpoint and corrective to Romanticism in Benjamin’s thought. Grounded in European aesthetics and literary theory, but pursuing the implications of Benjamin’s Goethean classicism across a range of disciplines and in relation to experiences of colour, language and technology, research for the book demanded engagement with the history and theory of painting, film, and literary criticism across more than two hundred years of European thought and culture.
