Berlin wrote the introductions not only to translations of Herzen's writings but to the English translation of Venturi's Roots of Revolution and Raeff's Russian Intellectual History.
Malia began his doctoral thesis in i949, the year that Berlin came to Harvard as a visiting lecturer, and the very time that the latter was developing his ideas on Herzen and the Russian intelligentsia. Lampert began corresponding with Berlin in i950, and soon the theologian was drawn into his orbit, as was S. V. Utechin, who arrived at Oxford the same year, and who later made efforts to publish Berlin's writings in Russia. Andrzej Walicki met Berlin in early i960, writing that their first encounter became "the foundation of the moral and intellectual bond" that developed between them. Aileen Kelly wrote her doctoral dissertation under Berlin's supervision and coedited and introduced Berlin's Russian Thinkers.

Els- berg wrote a monograph on Herzen, referred to widely, that has gone through several editions (i948, i95i, i956, ^63), the last revision topping 700 pages.
Novich's study surveys Herzen's early years (primarily during the i830s). See Ioann S. Novich (Fainshtein), Molodoi Gertsen: Iskaniia, idei, obrazy, lichnost' (Moscow: Sovetskii pisatel', ^80). We have already noted Zimmerman's Midpassage, which covers the Й47-52 period. Linkov focuses on Herzen's pro-Polish activities with the Land and Liberty movement: Iakov I.

Perkal's pocket-size monograph covers Herzen's years in St. Petersburg (Й39- 4i and i846) with relatively little scholarly apparatus. See Mark K. Perkal', Gertsen v Peterburge (Leningrad: Lenizdat, i97i). See also the popular booklet by Viktor G. Smirnov, Gertsen v Novgorode (Leningrad: Lenizdat, ^85).
