Routledge Library Editions: Social Theory brings together as one set and as individual volumes a series of previously out-of-print classic titles from a variety of academic imprints. With books ranging from Advances in Social Theory and Methodology to Capital, Labour and the Middle Classes, from The Family, Politics, and Social Theory to Positivism and Sociology, this set makes available a wealth of important reference sources from the diverse field of Social Theory. Most, if not all, of the authors in this set are acknowledged experts in their fields, and hail from all over the world; many of their works were groundbreaking books on their first publication.
