Seit etwa 1890 galt Georg Simmel besonders in den USA über mehrere Jahrzehnte als führender europäischer Soziologe und diese Anerkennung fand ihren Ausdruck in den frühen Veröffentlichungen seiner Werke in Amerika, aber auch in der großen Beliebtheit seiner Vorlesungen bei amerikanischen Studenten. Der Band versammelt sämtliche englischsprachigen Veröffentlichungen Simmels, darunter auch Entwürfe nie realisierter soziologischer Monographien. Die Texte wurden von Simmel zu seinen Lebzeiten autorisiert; der Band enthält einen umfangreichen editorischen Apparat in deutscher Sprache.
