Santayana Restored
"Santayana was a towering figure in the great
period of American philosophy..Jn many ways, he
anticipated some of the dominant trends in
American philosophy of the present period. It is
extremely valuable to have a satisfactory edition of
all of his work."
- Hilary Putnam, Harvard University
"This series will provide the definitive editions of
Santayana's work and this fact make the series
worthwhile for libraries supporting in depth
collections in American philosophy."

Published in 1935, George Santayana's
The
Last Puritan
was the American philosopher's
only novel. It became an instant best-seller,
immediately linked in its painful voyage of
self-discovery to
The Education
of
Henry
Adams. The Last Puritan
is volume four in a
new critical edition of The Works of George
Santayana that restores Santayana's original
text. Irving Singer's introduction takes up
Santayana's philosophical and artistic
concerns, including issues of homosexuality
raised by the depiction of the novel's two
protagonists, Oliver and Mario, and of the
relationship between Oliver and the rogue
character Jim Darnley.
