The Work of Art in the Epoch of its Technical Reproducibility

Summary: This translation follows Benjamin’s style and formatting as closely as possible. All the endnotes are translated precisely as they exist in Benjamin’s original. All of my editorial comments, secondary translations of citations, and translation choices for complex words are marked in the text by square brackets, e.g. [text]. Finally, the original sources for Benjamin’s citations are listed in a separate section at the very end of the translation -- a handy guide if you want to read some of the earliest film criticism in context.
