The debate on the use and drawbacks of the sociology of literature unleashed by Bourdieu’s seminal work “The Rules of Art” was mainly conducted here on an abstract level. The present volume contains a collection of papers sounding out the applicability of field theory to literary studies. The authors, from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, present theory-led textually based analyses of the present-day literature and culture business.
