Since the first edition of Sociology of the Arts , the literature in the field has grown vibrantly, as more sociologists recognize the value of studying the fine and popular arts. As an arts sociologist, I am delighted. This has provided a challenge in updating this book, however. There is simply more literature out there and more wonderful studies than can be addressed here.
