This antiquarian volume contains George Santayana's 1900 treatise, "Interpretations of Poetry and Religion". It presents his idea that 'poetry is called religion when it intervenes in life - and religion, when it merely supervenes upon life, is seen to be nothing but poetry.'

Santayana's thought continues to have a very real influence on current discussions pertaining to the nature of religion.
