Soliloquies in England: And Later Soliloquies (1922)

Professor George Santayana

Soliloquies in England: And Later Soliloquies is a collection of philosophical essays written by George Santayana, a Spanish-American philosopher and writer. The book was first published in 1922 and is divided into two parts. The first part, Soliloquies in England, contains a series of essays that Santayana wrote during his time in England between 1912 and 1914. The essays cover a range of topics, including literature, art, religion, and politics. Santayana reflects on the English character and culture, comparing it to his own Spanish heritage.The second part of the book, Later Soliloquies, contains essays that Santayana wrote after he left England and returned to the United States. These essays continue the themes of the first part, but also delve into more personal topics, such as aging and the meaning of life. Santayana's writing is known for its clarity and elegance, and his philosophical insights are often expressed in poetic language.Overall, Soliloquies in England: And Later Soliloquies is a thought-provoking collection of essays that offers a unique perspective on English and American culture, as well as on the human condition more broadly. It is a must-read for anyone interested in philosophy, literature, or cultural studies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
