Walter Benjamin's "The Origin of German Baroque Drama" (1928) is the author's dissertation, rejected by the scholarly community at the time, and yet one of the most important aesthetic-philosophical works of the past century. It fully reveals Benjamin's creative characteristic, which Hannah Arendt called "poetic thinking." The range of phenomena examined by Benjamin is far broader than the title suggests. He is concerned not with the letter of seventeenth-century German drama, but with its spirit. In the German philosopher's analysis, the baroque suddenly emerges not as "relevant" as a mirror of modernity, but as one possible answer—an unusually sober and profound one at that—to the questions that confronted those who lived through and continue to live through the tragic events of the twentieth century.
