Sir Isaiah Berlin, O.M., was born in Riga, Latvia, in 1909. He came to England in 1919 and was educated at St Paul's School and Corpus Christi College, Oxford. At Oxford, he was a a Fellow of All Souls College (1932-8, 1950-67), a Fellow of New College (1938-50), Chichele Professor of Social and Political Theory (1957-67), first President of Wolfson College (1966-75), and President of the British Academy from 1974 to 1978. His achievements as a historian and expositor of ideas earned him the Erasmus, Lippincott, and Agnelli Prizes, and his lifelong defence of civil liberties earned him the Jerusalem Prize. He died in 1997.
For Isaiah Berlin, the Romantics set in train a vast, unparalleled revolution in humanity's view of itself. They destrroyed the traditional notions of objective truth and validity in ethics. In these Mellon lectures, delivered in Washington in 1965, Berlin surveys the myriad attempts to define Romanticism and distils its essence. Includes CD of Berlin delivering his lectures. (Kirkus UK)
