About the Book

The purpose of the volume—as with the other volumes published in the Anthem Press “Companion to Sociology” series—is to provide a comprehensive overview of Erving Goffman’s continued appeal and relevance within the field of sociology and related social science disciplines. The book engages with some of the major themes and continuing concerns of Goffman’s sociology. The chapters included in the volume deal with some important aspects of Goffman’s life and work that made him into the enigma that he was.

Review :
The Anthem Companions to Sociology offers wide ranging and masterly overviews of the works of major sociologists. The volumes in the series provide authoritative and critical appraisals of key figures in modern social thought. These books, written and edited by leading figures, are essential additional reading on the history of sociology. —Gerard Delanty, Professor of Sociology, University of Sussex, Brighton This ambitious series provides an intellectually thoughtful introduction to the featured social theorists and offers a comprehensive assessment of their legacy. Each edited collection synthesizes the many dimensions of the respective theorist’s contributions and sympathetically ponders the various nuances in and the broader societal context for their body of work. The series will be appreciated by seasoned scholars and students alike. —Michele Dillon, Professor of Sociology and Dean of the College of Liberal Arts, University of New Hampshire. It is a must-have for the expert and the most ambitious sociologist. The book is particularly recommended to BA and MA students focusing their dissertations on Goffman, those attracted by the history of sociological thought, and those attempting to redefine and adequately update Goffman’s theoretical framework with respect to the developments occurring in contemporary societies. - Network Book Reviews
