There have been a series of splendid reviews of Walter Benjamin's ARCADES. A
previous posting i mentioned Stanley Cavell in Artforum. Look out also for
T.J.Clark (one of leading art historians with a series of books on the
painters of Paris in 19thC) in London Review of Books, and in-depths reviews
in Times Literary Supplement and Times Higher Education Supplement.

The following are available on-line.

In New York Times, Herbert Muschamp
