Reviews

`the first really comprehensive and systematic overview of the British Idealist movement to date . . . an authoritative and immensely detailed synopsis of the movement as a whole, including, for any potential research students, a splendid biographical resource . . . a welcome and extremely well-done history . . . it provides a valuable and detailed corrective to the way British philosophy has constructed its own historical self-image in the later twentieth century.' Andrew Vincent, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews 26/03/12
