Walter Benjamin

1892–1940

Walter Benjamin was a highly original German essayist, critic, and philosopher whose work straddled Marxism, Jewish mysticism, and aesthetic theory. His intellectual output, though tragically cut short by his suicide in 1940, profoundly influenced critical theory and cultural studies.
