Reviews
'This is an extraordinary work: extraordinary in many ways. The choice of the subject, Fairbairn; the unusually well-crafted editing; the number of Fairbairn scholars who made contributions; and the editorial choreography of the contributions. By "editorial choreography" I began to wonder if it had been written by a single author, partially because the flow of the chapters appeared seamlessly connected, and yet in its vastness the work was virtually all inclusive in dealing with Fairbairn's works - to say nothing of being inclusive of many of his unpublished works, which the Fairbairn family put at the editors' disposal. This is a gem of a book. I do so much want it to be successful: it is much needed.'- From the Introduction by James S. Grotstein
