This volume presents hitherto unpublished manuscripts by Norbert Elias (1897–1990). In the introduction the editors explain how and why these texts are made accessible now in a new volume. They describe how the material fits into the broader context of Elias's life and work, and point to the relevance of these new perspectives for discussions in sociological and historical research.
