Hardy abandoned his career in publishing to work full-time on Berlin's unpublished essays, lectures, and correspondence. He has (co-)edited eighteen volumes of Berlin's writings (plus new editions of thirteen of these volumes), as well as a four-volume edition of Berlin's letters, and two books and a pamphlet about Berlin. In 2018 he published a memoir of his work with and on Berlin. Reviewing the book for 'Best Books of 2018' in the Guardian, John Banville wrote: ‘Henry Hardy has self-effacingly devoted the larger part of his professional career to the editing, promoting and celebrating of the work of Isaiah Berlin. In Search of Isaiah Berlin: A Literary Adventure (I.B.Tauris) looks back over his long labours of love with fondness, a fine dry wit and a light salting of justified irritation at those entrusted with Berlin’s posthumous affairs. The second part consists of Hardy’s own philosophical response to Berlin’s theories on matters such as plurality, religious belief and our shared human nature. A wonderful book on a wonderful subject.’ In June 2015 Hardy delivered the 7th Isaiah Berlin Memorial Lecture in Riga. Opening remarks were made by Ivars Ijabs, Chair of the Board of the Foundation for an Open Society. Maurice Bowra Maurice Bowra was an English Classicist who was Warden of Wadham College, Oxford from 1938 to 1970. Known for his wit, he was also known for his “notoriously scabrous satirical poems on his contemporaries”, described as “unprintable” by John Sparrow, his friend from All Souls. "And unprinted [they have] largely remained, though Bowra did give occasional after-dinner readings to carefully chosen friends." This situation changed when Henry Hardy found a cache of Bowra's poems as he was working through the papers of Isaiah Berlin. These had been saved by Berlin for a project started with John Sparrow to explain the many allusions the poems contain. Hardy, working with Jennifer Holmes, set about completing this project, adding poems from other sources, including Wadham College's Bowra papers. The result was New Bats in Old Belfries, published in 2005, 34 years after Bowra's death in 1971. Hardy’s title is taken from John Betjeman’s collection of poems with the same name (1945). (Betjeman was one of the contemporaries satirised by Bowra in his poems.) Hardy was unable to include all of Bowra’s poems in 2005: two, written in 1950, remained unprintable: “This was because their subject was still alive, and was unwilling to
