His work influenced the development of philosophy, sociology, geography, political science and literary criticism.

'...the most thorough account of Lefebvre's work on time yet
available to an English-speaking audience and, as such, it really
demands to be read. ..Lefebvre's work encourages rhythmanalysis as
a sensibility, as close to the poetic as the scientific...a welcome
addition to Lefebvre's work available in English. As the most
comprehensive translation of his studies of time and rhythm so far,
it will be of very wide interest...Whoever we are, Rhythmanalysis
will enrich our theoretical and empirical investigations.'
*Dave Horton*
'...a remarkable achievement on the part of Stuart Elden.'
*Capital and Class*
...it represents the concise culmination of his though in a
synthesis neatly summarized in the English subtitle of this book:
space, time and everyday life...Elden has performed a fine service
to Lefebvre scholarship here. His book will help to orient an
English-speaking audience to the sophisticated philosophical
background of one of the most original calls to revolutionary
thought and action of the twentieth century.'
