"Walter Benjamin became a published writer at the age of seventeen. Yet the first stirrings of this most original of critical minds―penned during the years in which he transformed himself from the comfortable son of a haute-bourgeois German Jewish family into the nomadic, uncompromising philosopher-critic we have since come to appreciate―have until now remained largely unavailable in English. "Early Writings, 1910-1917" rectifies this situation, documenting the formative intellectual experiences of one of the twentieth century's most resolutely independent thinkers."
