About this product

Product Information

Walter Benjamin's essay 'A Short History of Photography' (1931) made bold statements about photographic pioneers such as David Octavius Hill and Nicephore Niepce, and the social and historical context of their work. This first selection of Benjamin's writings on photography includes a new translation of this influential essay as well as a range of Benjamin's other writings, both published and unpublished, some of which are translated into English for the first time here.

Photography is more important for Walter Benjamin than you realised
Great book with excellent editorial material from Esther Leslie, the translator. This isn't a large book and Benjamin didn't write a lot about photography but this is a really great starting point for thinking about photography and for thinking about photography in the work of Walter Benjamin.
