Cited by LukÃ¡cs as a principal source of literary modernism, Walter Benjaminâ€™s study of the baroque stage-form called Trauerspiel (literally, â€œmourning playâ€) 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 CalderÃ³n and the engravings of DÃ¼rer, Benjamin attempts to show how the historically charged forms of the Trauerspiel broke free of tragedyâ€™s mythological timelessness. From its philosophical prologue, which offers a rare account of Benjaminâ€™s early aesthetics, to its mind-wrenching meditation on allegory, The Origin of German Tragic Drama sparkles with early insights and the seeds of Benjaminâ€™s later thought.
