Berlin at his best: quick-minded, erudite, witty and profound and, above all, exciting. To read this book...is to feel the force of living thought coming white-hot from the forge of a superb mind
John Banville, Irish Times
This is their first appearance in print, and they're a treat...You hear the waves of words swelling, crashing, only to surge once more...revealing, exciting, elemental, intense. That's just what romanticism is about
Eugen Weber, Key Reporter
Isaiah Berlin at the height of his glory
Michael Foot, Independent on Sunday
Exhilaratingly thought-provoking
Iain Finlayson, The Times
A profound, if often tantalising, contribution to an understanding of the West's culture...This is a book that would be as salutary a read for prime ministers and presidents as for those who see themselves as cultural critics
Peter Mudford, The Times Higher Education Supplement
In an era where humane intellectual discourse has been deconstructed, intertextualised, phallicised and generally kicked senseless, Berlin's writing shines like a beacon
Rupert Christiansen, Spectator
