Stephen Mennell's major intellectual influence is Norbert Elias, and he is now a member of the Board of the Norbert Elias Foundation, Amsterdam - in effect one of Elias's executors. He is General Editor of the Collected Works of Norbert Elias]in English, which are being published in 18 volumes by UCD Press.

Elias's influence is especially evident in Mennell's landmark book ''All Manners of Food: Eating and Taste in England and France from the Middle Ages to the Present'' (1985), and in ''The American Civilizing Process'' (2007). His other books include ''Sociological Theory: Uses and Unities'' (1974; rev. edn 1980), ''Alexis de Tocqueville on Democracy, Revolution and Society '' (edited with John Stone, 1980), and two selections of Elias's writings edited with Johan Goudsblom. He is member of the editorial board of the journal Food & History.

Stephen Mennell was awarded the degree of Doctor of Letters by the University of Cambridge in 2004, and elected a Foreign Member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences in the same year. In 2009 he was elected a Member of the Royal Irish Academy.

...Мany sociologists – ‘theorists’ especially – see no value in ideas that are clearly expressed rather than dressed up in obscurantism and neologisms.
