This book is masterful in the economy of its summaries, paraphrases, and analyses of the principal contributors to the School, in the scope of its references and allusions to context, and in its insights into the historicity of the School's development in the different locales and phases through which the School passed over the course of its evolution. Miller has a gift for grasping the heart of the matter of any complex argument or performance.

• Introduction; 1. Modernism, Modernity, and the Demand for Interdisciplinarity; 2. Walter Benjamin; 3. Theodor Adorno; 4. Herbert Marcuse; 5. The New Wave: Modernism and Modernity in the Later Frankfurt School.
