Cette série monumentale plonge dans les profondeurs de l'art, examinant son évolution par rapport aux structures sociales, politiques et économiques. Elle étudie comment les styles et les formes artistiques se sont transformés en réponse aux changements de hiérarchies sociales et à l'essor du commerce. Le récit retrace le parcours des premières formes d'art axées sur le spirituel jusqu'au réalisme façonné par l'essor de la bourgeoisie. C'est une exploration fascinante de la manière dont le contexte social façonne l'expression artistique.

Arnold Hauser war einer der ersten, der soziologische Fragestellungen in die Literaturgeschichtsbetrachtung integriert hat. Im vorliegenden Buch beschäftigt er sich grenzüberschreitend mit der Entwicklung von bildender Kunst, Literatur, Musik, Theater und Film. „Die erste wesentliche Soziologie der Kunst, die wir kennen. … Hausers Buch ist ein Wegweiser durch das Labyrinth der Zeiten und Kulturen.“ Süddeutsche Zeitung
