Gilbert Murray, OM, 1866-1957
The story of Gilbert Murray is that of a brilliant scholar and diplomat--a man who emigrated to England from Australia, made a distinguished career as a classicist at Oxford and Glasgow, and became Chairman of the League of Nations Union. Drawing on Murray's own letters and writings, the late Sir Duncan Wilson, himself an esteemed classical scholar, writes with freshness and perception of Murray's classical work and international efforts.

Mobilizing Cultural Identities in the First World War
This book tackles cultural mobilization in the First World War as a plural process of identity formation and de-formation. It explores eight different settings in which individuals, communities and conceptual paradigms were mobilized. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, it interrogates one of the most challenging facets of the history of the Great War, one that keeps raising key questions on the way cultures respond to times of crisis. Mobilization during the First World War was a major process of material and imaginative engagement unfolding on a military, economic, political and cultural level, and existing identities were dramatically challenged and questioned by the whirl of discourses and representations involved.
Essays and Addresses (Classic Reprint)
Excerpt from Essays and Addresses Several of these papers have appeared in periodicals or been published in the proceedings of societies, and I have to thank the editors or the committees for the per mission to reprint. Detailed acknowledgements will be found in the table of contents. One or two besides are published in separate volumes, the Stoic Philosophy by Messrs. Watts and Co., and others by Messrs. Allen and Unwin'. As to these also the details are given elsewhere. To make a collection even on a small scale of one's occasional writings on popular subjects throughout a long period of years is, I find, a matter of some anxiety. A man has generally little confidence in his past self. The...

A Bibliography of Bertrand Russell
From 1895, the year he published his first signed article, to four days before his death in 1970 when he wrote his last, Bertrand Russell was a powerful force in the world of mathematics, philosophy, human rights and the struggle for peace. During those years he published 70 books, almost as many pamphlets and over 2,000 articles, he also contributed pieces to some 200 books. The availability of the Bertrand Russell Archives at McMaster University since 1968 has made it possible for the first time to compile a full, descriptive bibliography of his writings. The Collected Papers are based on it. Fully annotated, the Bibliography is textually oriented and will guide the scholar, collector and general reader to the authoritative editions of Russell's works. It includes references to the locations of all known speeches and interviews, and reproductions of the dust-jackets of Russell's books. Blackwell, Ruja and Turcon have cooperated for nearly 20 years on the new Bibliography. Lord Russell saw the extensive additions for it near the end of his life and declared: `I am impressed.'
