SANTAYANA'S AESTHETICS
A CRITICAL INTRODUCTION
By IRVING SINGER.
This book is one of the first serious
analyses to be written of Santayana's contribution to aesthetic
theory and criticism. T he author both points out the epistemology
underlying Santayana's aesthetic theory and the relationship of
his philosophy of art to his more general philosophy, and suggests
an entirely new tradition, free from various " unacceptable"
aspects of the traditional position in art criticism. The whole not
only emphasizes the importance of the aesthetic experience in
Western philosophical thought; it also places Santayana in his
proper niche among modern philosophers of aesthetics for the
first time.

IMAGES AND THEMES IN FIVE ,POEMS
BY MILTON
ROSEMOND TUVE
here reveals the use Milton made of
large and ancient images in revealing the themes of his five
most important minor poems. "L'Allegro" and "Il Penseroso,"
the "Hymn on the Morning of Christ's Nativity," "Lycidas,"
and "Comus" are all discussed in detail, and, through Miss Tuve's
sensitive readings, the central figures appear in a new and interest–
ing light. The separate studies combine to define figurative
language more closely, to set Milton's imagery in the context of
modern scholarship, and to provide a critical basis for a fresh
reading of the poems.
