The Selected Letters of Bertrand Russell
This acclaimed selection of Russell's early letters, available in paperback for the first time, reveals the full scope of his life and innermost thoughts up to the First World War.
Yours Faithfully, Bertrand Russell
"Yet Russell was more than a great intellect; he was also a political animal. From the beginning of his long professional life he emphasized the importance of practice as well as theory. He was twice imprisoned by the British government for his political utterances. With his razor-sharp irony and morally impassioned rhetoric, Russell took on the forces of injustice, ignorance, and cruelty; one of his chief weapons was the letter to the editor.".
Introducing Bertrand Russell
Bertrand Russell changed Western philosophy forever. He tackled many puzzles--how our minds work, how we experience the world, and what the true nature of meaning is.

The Collected Papers of Bertrand Russell Volume 29
Détente or Destruction, 1955-57 continues publication of Routledge's multi-volume critical edition of Bertrand Russell's shorter writings. Between September 1955 and November 1957 Russell published some sixty-one articles, reviews, statements, contributions to books and letters to editors, over fifty of which are contained in this volume. The texts, several of them hitherto unpublished, reveal the deepening of Russell's commitment to the anti-nuclear struggle, upon which he embarked in the previous volume of Collected Papers (Man's Peril, 1954-55). Continuing with the theme of nuclear peril, this volume contains discussion of nuclear weapons, world peace, prospects for disarmament and Briti...
Aloysius Bertrand’s Gaspard de la Nuit Beyond the Prose Poem
Aloysius Bertrand’s Gaspard de la Nuit (1842) is a familiar title to music lovers, thanks to Ravel’s piano work of the same name, and to specialists of French literature, especially those interested in Baudelaire’s prose poetry. Yet until very recently the collection and its author have generally been viewed almost exclusively through the prism of their pioneering role in the development of the prose poem. By placing Bertrand back in his original context, adopting a comparative approach and engaging with recent critical work on the collection, Valentina Gosetti proposes a substantial reassessment of Gaspard de la Nuit and promotes a new understanding of Bertrand in his own terms, rather than those of his successors. Through his playful and ironic reinterpretation of Romantic clichés, and his overt defiance of the boundaries of poetry and beauty, Bertrand emerges as a fascinating figure in his own right. This book is one of the first full-length studies of Bertrand’s work, and it will be of particular interest to specialists of the nineteenth century and of provincial literature, and to students of nineteenth-century poetry or the fantastic.
Bertrand Russell's Theory of Knowledge
Until this book was first published in 1969 no comprehensive treatment of Russell's epistemology had appeared. It challenges assumptions held previously and draws attention to features of Russell's later work. The analysis starts with Russell's earliest views and moves from book to book and article to article through his enormous span of writing on the problems and theory of knowledge - this total evaluation and interpretation clarifies many of the common misunderstandings of his philosophy.
The Collected Papers of Bertrand Russell, Volume 9
This volume contains Russell's reviews of and introductions to other philosophical works including his famous introduction to Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus.
The Tale of Sir Bertrand and Lady Davina
In the land of Espada a knight by the name of Jonathan Bertrand has fallen in love with a young maiden named Davina. When the knight is at first rejected, he pushes on and proves his love to the maiden. But in the midst of all this, the king's daughter, Josephina, has wanted Bertrand for herself for a long time. In her desire for Bertrand, the princess sets off a chain of events that will lead those involved to places of danger. Will Bertrand and Davina be able to avoid the princess' schemes, or will they fall prey to them? Inspired by the Medieval Romance tales of centuries past, The Tale of Sir Bertrand and Lady Davina is certainly worth a read for lovers of medieval literature. It brings the feel of the Medieval Romance into the modern age.
