A masterwork of cultural and literary criticism,

This review is from: Necessary Angels: Tradition and Modernity in Kafka, Benjamin, and Scholem (Hardcover)
Alter is one of the most distinguished of all modern literary critics. Perhaps he is best known for his pioneering literary studies on the Bible. But he has written on diverse subjects from American- Jewish Literature to Fielding and the Comic Novel. Here he examines the relations of three giants of Jewish and world culture, Gershom Scholem, Walter Benjamin and Franz Kafka. Kafka had enormous influence on both Scholem and Benjamin who were close friends and influenced each other intellectually.
This work is a master work in cultural and literary criticism. |
