The volumes of The Works of George Santayana are unmodernized, critical editions of George Santayana's published and unpublished writings. An "unmodernized" edition retains outdated and idiosyncratic punctuation, spelling, capitalization, and word division in order to reflect the full intent of the author as well as the initial texture of the work; a "critical" edition allows the exercise of editorial judgment in making corrections, changes, and choices among authoritative readings. The goal of the editors is to produce texts that accurately represent Santayana's final intentions regarding his works, and to record all evidence (textual apparatus listing variants and emandations) on which editorial decisions have been based.
