Jorge Agustín Nicolás Ruiz de Santayana y Borrás, known as George Santayana (December 16, 1863 – September 26, 1952), was a philosopher, essayist, poet, and novelist. Santayana was raised and educated in the United States and identified himself as an American, although he always kept a valid Spanish passport.[1] He wrote in English and is generally considered an American man of letters. At the age of forty-eight, Santayana left his position at Harvard and returned to Europe permanently, never to return to the United States. His last wish was to be buried in the Spanish pantheon in Rome. [mehr]

Hippolyte Adolphe Taine (21 April 1828 – 5 March 1893) was a French critic and historian. He was the chief theoretical influence of French naturalism, a major proponent of sociological positivism and one of the first practitioners of historicist criticism. Literary historicism as a critical movement has been said to originate with him.[1] Taine is particularly remembered for his three-pronged approach to the contextual study of a work of art, based on the aspects of what he called "race, milieu, and moment". Taine had a profound effect on French literature; the 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica asserted that "the tone which pervades the works of Zola, Bourget and Maupassant can be immediately attributed to the influence we call Taine's."[2] [mehr]

Laurence Oliphant was first styled as Lord Oliphant in July 1455, one month after he came of age. There are mentions of Lords Oliphant some 50 to 60 years before. There is reference in the Great Seal of Scotland (Registrum Magni Sigilli Regum Scotorum) to John Oliphant, brother germain to Lord Oliphant, on 2 February 1394-5.[4] It was recorded by the monks of Pluscarden that in 1408, two brothers of Lord Oliphant,[5] William and Arthur, had assisted in the murder of Sir Patrick Graham, Earl of Strathearn. These two brothers were hung, drawn and quartered.[6] Walter Bower, the continuator of John of Fordun's chronicling is also said to have made reference to the same incident circa 1408 [mehr]
