One of the defining works of twentieth-century sociology: a
revelatory analysis of how we present ourselves to others 'The
self, then, as a performed character, is not an organic thing ...
it is a dramatic effect' How do we communicate who we are to other
people? This landmark work by one of the twentieth century's most
influential sociologists argues that our behaviour in social
situations is defined by how we wish to be perceived - resulting in
displays startlingly similar to those of actors in a theatrical
performance. From the houses and clothes that we use as 'fixed
props' to the 'backstage' of the solitude in which our personas are
rehearsed and relaxed, Goffman reveals human character not to be
fixed, but fluid and consciously maintained. 'Never less than
brilliant' New Statesman
