About This Item
Columbia University Press. Very Good. 1992. Soft Cover. 0231069138 Uncreased spine. No ownership marks. xx, 350 pages clean and tight. 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: "Adorno's "Notes to Literature, " which begins with the high leap of his great essay 'The Essay as Form, ' sets an inimitable, always exhilarating standard. A volume of Adorno's essays is equivalent to a whole shelf of books on literature." -- "Susan Sontag" "Adorno's Notes to Literature, which begins with the high leap of his great essay 'The Essay as Form, ' sets an inimitable, always exhilarating standard.
