Henri Lefebvre is widely recognized as one of the most influential social theorists of the Twentieth Century. His writings on cities, everyday life, and the production of space have become hugely influential across Cultural Studies, Sociology, Geography and Architecture.

Key Writings presents the full range of Lefebvre's thought in a single volume. The selection of essays spanning 1933 to 1990 reinforces the relevance of Lefebvre's work to current debates in social theory, politics, and philosophy.

The book is divided into five sections: โ€˜Philosophy and Marxismโ€™, โ€˜The Critique of Everyday Lifeโ€™, โ€˜The Country and the Cityโ€™, โ€˜History, Time and Spaceโ€™ and โ€˜Politicsโ€™. It includes a general introduction by the editors as well as separate introductions to each section.
