Return to the United States
Poet involved
What happened
In 1940, George Santayana returned to the United States after spending nearly three decades in Europe. This return was marked by a sense of nostalgia and reflection on his dual identity as both an American and a Spaniard.
Literary impact
His return to America prompted a resurgence of themes related to identity and belonging in his poetry. The contrast between his experiences in Europe and the American landscape influenced his later works, as he sought to reconcile his past with his present.
