Review Quotes:
'Jacobsen and Smith's International Handbook of Goffman Studies undoubtedly constitutes a new milestone in the recognition of Goffman's work. Anyone who studies this work in depth needs to know and work with this book. Its thorough reading promises a wealth of impulses for the further exploration of Goffman's work, which will hopefully continue to be an arena where different theoretical positions and controversial views of his publications can meet.' - Karl Lenz, Symbolic Interaction
