Description:Douglas L. Wilson writes in his Preface : "the editor has undertaken to mine, from the vast lode of Santayana’s writings, a single vein. Assembled here are the products of one of Santayana’s most memorable preoccupations—the genteel tradition in America. Most of the pieces were written over a span of ten years—roughly speaking, the decade 1910-1920. This is an interesting and indicative fact, not merely for the light it sheds on this period of Santayana’s own life and career, but also for the significance it holds for our understanding of the same period in the life of American culture. For these essays form no less than a vital part of the lively ferment over cultural self-appraisal that dominated the American intellectual scene during those and succeeding years. As such, they may be more clearly viewed, when brought together as they are here, as constituting yet another aspect of Santayana’s substantial American legacy. While there are passages to be found throughout his published works that bear on this theme, only pieces complete in themselves have been included. The result which is offered in these pages consists of eight essays and a poem—or perhaps more properly, nine essays, one of which is in verse. All of these pieces, with the exception of “The Moral Background,” were originally published in periodicals. Five of them were later revised and published in hard cover by the author. The other three were never collected by the author and were allowed to repose in the periodicals as “fugitives.” All of the pieces are reproduced from their original place of publication and in their original form. Typographical errors have been silently corrected." We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
