About this book
Six lectures given at Columbia University in February 1910, and repeated that April at the University of Wisconsin, make up this study of three poets. Santayana reads Lucretius as the voice of naturalism, Dante of supernaturalism, and Goethe's Faust of romanticism. He calls himself an amateur and an ordinary reader, not a specialist. The contents take in Epicurean thought, Beatrice and the Divine Comedy, and the Faust legend from Marlowe onward. It is Volume I of Harvard Studies in Comparative Literature, dated 1910.
