Notes to Literature (European Perspectives: A Series in Social Thought and Cultural Criticism) - Hardcover
Synopsis
Available in English for the first time, this is a collection of Adorno's essays on such writers as Mann, Bloch, Holderlin, Kare Kraust, Sigfried Kracauer, Goethe, Benjamin and Stefan George. Also included are Adorno's reflections on a variety of subjects: literary titles, the physical qualities of books, political commitment in literature, the light-hearted and the serious in art, and the use of foreign words in writing, to name a few.

From the Back Cover
This volume differs from the first in that its contents are less well known in English, both in that few of these essays have previously appeared in translation and in that they deal, to a far greater extent than in the first volume, with works written in German, often works which are untranslated or relatively little read in America. Nevertheless, these essays contain some of Adorno's most highly elaborated articulations of his understanding of literary and poetic language, and I think they will prove extremely valuable to English-speaking readers, even those who know no German.
Review
