The Isaiah Berlin Catalogue

A Political Review of 1951

• Originally written as part of Berlin’s contribution to the Britannica Book of the Year 1952, this lengthy treatment of political developments in 1951 was almost entirely excluded from the published text. It seems that Berlin may have subsequently offered this material to Edward Weeks, editor of the Atlantic Monthly, but it was not published there either. It has been included as section I of 1951 in Three Years: Culture and Politics in the Mid Twentieth Century (Bib.292).
