Walter Benjamin's THE ORIGIN OF GERMAN TRAGIC DRAMA, long considered to be an indecipherable treatise on the German mourning play, has rarely received the attention it deserves as a key text, central to a full understanding of his work. Beatrice Hanssen reinterprets Benjamin's thought through an analysis of the seemingly innocuous figures of stones, animals, and angels that are scattered throughout his writings.
