Originally designed as a panoramic study chronicling the rise and decline of the Parisian shopping arcades, Benjamin's work combines imaginative peregrinations through the changing city-scape of nineteenth-century Paris with passages that read like a blueprint for a new cultural theory of modernity. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWalter Benjamin and the Arcades Project \u003c\/em\u003eprovides the first comprehensive introduction to this extraordinary work accessible to English-language readers.
