Editorial Reviews
Punch - 1/10/97
"The collection is full of provocative insights and is capped with two outstanding pieces...."

Sander L. Gilman, University of Chicago
"Roy Porter's stellar volume puts together a wide range of selves in its search for the self. A host of distinguished authors question the construction of the very idea of the self in illuminating detail. Each chapter provides another turning to the question until the reader starts to imagine him/herself as a fragmented series of selves. Readers beware! There are more selves to your self than meets the eye!." --This text refers to the Library Binding edition.
