The letters are extensively annotated and provide the reader with detailed notes concerning the writings, events and personalities referred or alluded to in the correspondence.
Will be of interest to students and scholars of Social Theory, Cultural History, and those whose research and writing is devoted to T. W. Adorno and the Frankfurt School.
