The International Sociological Association recently voted Norbert
Elias's The Civilizing Process as one of the top ten works of
sociology in the twentieth century Elias's masterwork, his other
writings, and his influence on the field of sociology are the
subjects of this book. It is a readable and thoughtful intellectual
portrait of Elias, generally regarded as one of the outstanding
social thinkers of this century. His Civilizing Process traced the
'civilizing' of manners and personality in Western Europe since the
late Middle Ages, and shows how it was related to the formation of
states and the control of violence. His later writings, often
scattered about and difficult, range from sport to human relations,
through the changing relations between men and women to time, the
growth of knowledge and the sciences, to the prospects of nuclear
war. Mennell examines the full range of Elias's work and presents
it in a cogent and accessible manner, all in a book which is a
"pleasure to read."
