Bloch and Benjamin on The New and the Old

[Jeffrey]

Warren,

It will take me a little while to sort out your comments on the new in
Bloch and Benjamin.  But right off, the quotes were very enlightening.

Check out _Aesthetics and Politics_ -- a book published by Verso with
essays by Adorno, Benjamin, Bloch, Brecht and Lukacs.  (Have I already
mentioned this?)  There is a great exchange between L and Bloch precisely
on the relative merits of Expressionism and Realism.  Other than that, I
know L wrote an essay called "The Greatness and the Decline of
Expressionism".  I don't know where to find it, however.
