Cursus :
Derek Sayer is Professor at Lancaster University. He was originally trained in sociology, and wrote a number of books on classical social theory and state formation. Latterly he has used modern Czech history, and especially the modern history of the city of Prague, as a laboratory in which to explore the many-sidedness of "the modern condition," focusing in particular on cultural history, including architecture, music, and the visual arts.
