According to legend, Santayana (1863-1952) was alerted that his job at Harvard was in jeopardy unless he published a book on philosophy, rather than more collections of his poetry.

An introduction is provided by John McCormick (comparative literature, Rutgers U.), who has written a biography of Santayana. Cited in Books for College Libraries, 3rd. ed.Annotation c.
