The work of Isaiah Berlin (1909-1997) covered a wide variety of subjects, mostly appearing in periodicals and symposia. Apart from Russian Thinkers, Isaiah Berlin's other contributions to Russian studies include his translation of Ivan Turgenev's First Love (available from Penguin) and his Introduction to Alexander Herzen's memoirs, My Past and Thoughts. Sir Isaiah was awarded the Jerusalem Prize in 1979 for the expression in his writings of the idea of the freedom of the individual in society.
The enduring vitality of Berlin's characterisation of Russian
thought is demonstrated by the publication [...] of a new edition
of Russian Thinkers, painstakingly revised and augmented by Henry
Hardy ... a series of sparkling and sympathetic essays
