books on W. Benjamin

[Michael Young]

Hi all,

I'm reasonably new to the list and was wondering if anyone has suggestions
for a friend and I who are 'preparing' for a Benjamin reading project. Our
plan is to spend some time reading widely in WB and were wanting to begin
by reading a couple of books *on* him, to prepare the ground, as it were.
We were thinking of Richard Wolin's "WB: an aesthetic of redemption" and
Bernd Witte's "WB: an intellectual biography", for no other reasons than 1)
they're referenced "around" and 2) I had both of them on my shelves. Any
other suggestions?  Also, any web-based resources would be great, too.

thanks

mdy/.
