Sociological Theory in the Classical Era Summary

Sociological Theory in the Classical Era: Text and Readings by Laura D. Edles

Sociological Theory in the Classical Era: A Text and Readings is a "hybrid" between a reader and a secondary text. It combines the major writings of sociology's core classical theorists with a historical as well as theoretical framework for understanding them. The book provides not just a biographical and theoretical summary of each theorist, but also examines, compares, and contrasts each theorists' major themes and concepts.

The book is packed with pedagogical devices and visual aids such as charts, figures, and photographs to help summarize key concepts, illuminate complex ideas, and provoke student interest. No other theory text combines such "student-friendly" explanation and analysis with original theoretical works.

Sociological Theory in the Classical Era Reviews

"Edles and Appelrouth's new book is a major contribution for those striving to help students understand the essential place of theory in the sociological enterprise. It skillfully demonstrates the contemporary relevance of classical theory, elucidates the complex interplay of empirical research and sociological theory, and makes crystal clear that good theory must always be more than idle speculation. The authors are to be commended for how they interweave biographical sketches, background influences, core ideas, and theoretical orientations, on the one hand, with their inclusion of pivotal primary sources. This book will likely be template that future texts in theory will try to emulate."

-- Edward Lehman
