In his important book, first published in 1997, Thomas Scheff
offers an approach to researching human behavior which relates the
smallest parts of social interaction to the greatest wholes of
social structure. These are the details and connections usually
found only in the finest novels, but Scheff combines the insights
of the humanities and social sciences to capture the same evocative
details of sight, sound, and context, better to understand what he
calls 'human reality'. He puts a fresh emphasis on the importance
of emotions in the social bond, and describes in newly subtle ways
the outer and inner lives of persons in real life, such as
inner-city children, and in fiction, such as Jane Austen's
heroines. By closely observing the significance of words and
gestures in the context in which they occur, he is able to
illuminate the connection between people's lives and the society in
which they live.
