Written with verve and intensity (and a good bit of wordplay), this
is the long-awaited study of Flaubert and the modern literary field
that constitutes the definitive work on the sociology of art by one
of the world's leading social theorists. Drawing upon the history
of literature and art from the mid-nineteenth century to the
present, Bourdieu develops an original theory of art conceived as
an autonomous value. He argues powerfully against those who refuse
to acknowledge the interconnection between art and the structures
of social relations within which it is produced and received. As
Bourdieu shows, art's new autonomy is one such structure, which
complicates but does not eliminate the interconnection.
The literary universe as we know it today took shape in the
nineteenth century as a space set apart from the approved academies
of the state. No one could any longer dictate what ought to be
written or decree the canons of good taste. Recognition and
consecration were produced in and through the struggle in which
writers, critics, and publishers confronted one another.
