"Without doubt the most important piece of historical sociology
since Max Weber." Richard Sennett, London School of
Economics. <!--end-->
"A modern classic of the first order." Lewis Coser.
"Elias has all the boldness and sureness of touch of the old
masters, of whom he is perhaps the last. Reading his pages one
again and again makes the mental note that this or that point is
worthy of a Max Weber ... One realises from a book like this that
serious sociology must remain dependent on the insightful
interpretation of history of just the kind that Elias provides."
Bryan Wilson.
"The most remarkable recent attempt to contain the social and
the individual within a unified scheme of sociological analysis."
Philip Abrams
"The Civilizing Process is remarkable: eclectic, insightful and constantly surprising." Times Higher Education Supplement
