The book provides the reader with fascinating accounts of influential tort scholarship, with insights that both humanise the authors whose work is already familiar and demystify work that may seem too voluminous or daunting to tackle.

This is an important and solid collection of essays, especially for students, practitioners, and judges.

This volume brings together some accounts of significant tort scholars. It is an intriguing collection in that it does what I consider to be the best form of intellectual biography, including elements of the life that contributed to the intellectual context of the scholar while focusing on the impact and structure of their work.

This volume takes a refreshingly different approach to studying the making of tort law. Its goal is to shed new light on the development of tort law as an intellectual domain and not simply a body of rules, and to demonstrate that legal scholars played a decisive role in that development. It succeeds admirably on both fronts … Every chapter is richly researched and offers much food for thought. However, this is also a book that is greater than the sum of its parts. Its value lies not just in the information it presents about individual scholars and their contribution to the intellectual development of tort, but also in the broader themes that emerge when the chapters are read together.
