'For the last fifteen years, all of us have read one or two of Daniel Smith's remarkable essays on Deleuze. But now, we have all of them. Finally and thankfully, we have Essays on Deleuze, a book that will become immediately essential reading for anyone interested in twentieth-century continental philosophy.' Leonard Lawlor, Sparks Professor of Philosophy, Penn State University 'For many years now Daniel Smith's work has led us through Deleuze's philosophy with an unmatched clarity. It is thanks to him that the many historical connections of that philosophy have been grasped in their full rigour and depth. No researcher on Deleuze's philosophy can pass this work by. No reader can fail to benefit from an engagement with Smith's groundbreaking interpretation.'
