Overview
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.'

Reviews
For the interested scholar and/or bibliophile, A Bibliography of Betrand Russell is the realization of a dream. Comprehensive, yet exact, authoritative, yet beautiful.... That the finished product is a massive success should come as little surprise, given that there could not have been a better choice of bibliographers.... With such exceptional scope in its coverage, this is an unusually enjoyable bibliography to browse through.... A Bibliography of Betrand Russel stands as a magnificent testimonial to just how much one worried, if effervescently brilliant, person can do, even in a world gone mad.. - Canadian Philosophical Reviews If bibliographies were automobiles, this would be a Rolls Royce. What markes it for such elite status is the uncommon quality and thoroughness of its scholarship. The authors have created in this (exclusively primary) bibliography an authoritative and minutely detailed record of the public output of a figure who easily ranks among thiscentury's five most prominent philosophers, and quite likely its most proligic, to say nothin of outspoken and controversial. -American Reference Books Annual, 1996 ... serves the bibliophile and book collector or dealer as much as the student or scholar concerned with the substance of Russell's thought, while also placing bibliography at theservice of such intellectual endeavors as assessing the popularity and circulation of an individual's ideas and establishing the accuracy and authenticity of texts. -American Reference Books Annual, 1996 ... a fine work of scholarship........ -Papers of the Bibliographical Society of Canada, Fall 1996 ... magnificent... surely ranks among the finestscholarly bibliographies ever produced.... -Times Higher Education Supplement, December 13 1996
'This exemplary bibliography goes beyond the scope of many, to take in spoken as well as written words, and the history and prehistoy of each text.' - The Times 'If bibliogra[hies were automobiles, this would be a Rolls Royce. What marks it for susch elite status i the uncommon quality and thoroughness of its scholarship.' - Hans E Bynagle, Philosophy ' ... seems certain to remain the definitive reference work on its subject for many generations to come. Indeed, it provides what is surely one of the most complete records of a writer's work ever compiled.' - Ray Monk, The Observer 'Especially magnificent is the accompanying three-volume bibliography that was published last year, and which surely ranks among the finest scholarly bibliographies ever produced.' - Times Higher Education Supplement
