"A major, path-breaking work, The Rules of Art will stimulate theoretical debates for years to come" Le Nouvel Observateur
"Since the 1960s Pierre Bourdieu's terrific constancy has been there to hold us to the vision and divisions of criticism, detachment, reason, truth ... [An] enormous addition to his vast architecture." Times Higher Education Supplement
"This is by far Bourdieu's best book to date." Acta Sociologica
"Both The Rules of Art and The State Nobility are dazzling examples of the way in which Bourdieu imposes order on an overwhelming wealth of empirical material ... these books represent important developments in Bourdieu's thought and confirm his status as one of today's most stimulating and bold sociological thinkers." European Journal of Social Theory
Pierre Bourdieu was Professor of Sociology at the Collège de France.
