Summary

The first stirrings of this most original of critical minds—penned during the years when he transformed himself from the comfortable son of a German Jewish family into the nomadic, boundary-crossing philosopher-critic we appreciate—have until now remained largely unavailable in English. Early Writings, 1910-1917 rectifies this situation.
