In the late 1930s, John Steinbeck, Richard Wright, and Ernest Hemingway wrote novels that won critical acclaim and popular success: The Grapes of Wrath, Native Son, and For Whom the Bell Tolls. All ...three writers were involved with the Left at the time, and that commitment informed their fiction. Milton Cohen examines their motives for involvement with the Left; their novels' political themes; and why they separated from the Left after the novels were published. These writers were deeply conflicted about their political commitments, and Cohen explores the tensions that arose between politics and art, resulting in the abandonment of a political attachment.
In Henry James and Queer Modernity, first published in 2003, Eric Haralson examines far-reaching changes in gender politics and the emergence of modern male homosexuality as depicted in the writings ...of Henry James and three authors who were greatly influenced by him: Willa Cather, Gertrude Stein and Ernest Hemingway. Haralson places emphasis on American masculinity as portrayed in fiction between 1875 and 1935, but the book also treats events in England, such as the Oscar Wilde trials, that had a major effect on American literature. He traces James's engagement with sexual politics from his first novels of the 1870s to his 'major phase' at the turn of the century. The second section of this study measures James's extraordinary impact on Cather's representation of 'queer' characters, Stein's theories of writing and authorship as a mode of resistance to modern sexual regulation, and Hemingway's very self-constitution as a manly American author.
Ernest Hemingway embraced adventure and courted glamorous friends while writing articles, novels, and short stories that captivated the world. Hemingway’s personal relationships and experiences ...influenced the content of his fiction, while the progression of places where the author chose to live and work shaped his style and rituals of writing. Whether revisiting the Italian front in A Farewell to Arms, recounting a Pamplona bull run in The Sun Also Rises, or depicting a Cuban fishing village in The Old Man and the Sea, setting played an important part in Hemingway’s fiction. The author also drew on real people—parents, friends, and fellow writers, among others—to create memorable characters in his short stories and novels. In Influencing Hemingway: The People and Places That Shaped His Life and Work Nancy W. Sindelar introduces the reader to the individuals who played significant roles in Hemingway’s development as both a man and as an artist—as well as the environments that had a profound impact on the author’s life. In words and photos, readers will see images of Hemingway the child, the teenager, and the aspiring author—as well as the troubled legend dealing with paranoia and fear. The book begins with Hemingway’s birth and early influences in Oak Park, Illinois, followed by his first job as a reporter in Kansas City. Sindelar then recounts Hemingway’s experiences and adventures in Italy, France, Spain, Key West, Florida, and Cuba, all of which found their way into his writing. The book concludes with an analysis of the events that preceded the author’s suicide in Idaho and reflects on the influences critics had on his life and work. Though much has been written about the life and work of the Nobel prize-winning author, Influencing Hemingway is the first publication to carefully document—in photographs and letters—the individuals and locales that inspired him. Featuring more than 60 photos, many of which will be new to the general and academic reader, and unguarded statements from personal letters to and from his parents, lovers, wives, children, and friends, this unique biography allows readers to see Hemingway from a new perspective.
This study breaks new ground by examining the profoundly submissive and masochistic posture toward women exhibited by many of Hemingway's heroes, from Jake Barnes in The Sun Also Rises to David ...Bourne in The Garden of Eden. The discussion draws on the ideas of diverse authors revealing that 'masochistic aesthetic' informs many of the texts.
Hemingway's Spain Eby, Carl P; Cirino, Mark

eBook
Ernest Hemingway famously called Spain "the country that I loved more than any other except my own, " and his forty-year love affair with it provided an inspiration and setting for major works from ...each decade of his career: The Sun Also Rises, Death in the Afternoon, For Whom the Bell Tolls, The Dangerous Summer, and The Garden of Eden; his only full-length play, The Fifth Column; the Civil War documentary The Spanish Earth; and some of his finest short fiction, including "Hills Like White Elephants" and "A Clean, Well-Lighted Place." In Hemingway's Spain, Carl P. Eby and Mark Cirino collect thirteen penetrating and innovative essays by scholars of different nationalities, generations, and perspectives who explore Hemingway's writing about Spain and his relationship to Spanish culture and ask us in a myriad of ways to rethink how Hemingway imagined Spain—whether through a modernist mythologization of the Spanish soil, his fascination with the bullfight, his interrogation of the relationship between travel and tourism, his involvement with Spanish politics, his dialog with Spanish writers, or his appreciation of the subtleties of Spanish values. In addition to fresh critical responses to some of Hemingway's most famous novels and stories, a particular strength of Hemingway's Spain is its consideration of neglected works, such as Hemingway's Spanish Civil War stories and The Dangerous Summer. The collection is noteworthy for its attention to how Hemingway's post–World War II fiction revisits and reimagines his earlier Spanish works, and it brings new light both to Hemingway's Spanish Civil War politics and his reception in Spain during the Franco years. Hemingway's lifelong engagement with Spain is central to understanding and appreciating his work, and Hemingway's Spain is an indispensable exploration of Hemingway's home away from home.

A new and provocative analysis of "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" Hemingway's short story, "The Snows of Kilimanjaro," has secured a place among the greatest works in that genre-the story is widely ...considered Hemingway's greatest. To explore the richness of this work, David L. Anderson returns to a somewhat unusual approach, that of archetypal criticism, which allows us to examine the story in more universal, rather than strictly historical, ways. Anderson emphasizes the story's theme of hospitality, which dramatizes topics of community and human interdependency, and notes that this illuminates a fundamental human impulse to shelter or aid those in need. Borrowing from Jack London, Anderson relates this to the archetype of the "man on trail": one who is being pursued, ultimately by death, and is in need of hospitality, a friend. The motif is older than London, as Anderson notes, guiding us to Jung, Campbell, and a whole body of archetypal criticism-from ancient literature to Bob Dylan. Anderson explores the man-on-trail archetype extensively in the Italicized Memory sections of the story, in the drama of Harry's last day, and in the unforgettable ending section as Harry takes his flight to Kilimanjaro. Noteworthy is this sustained attention to the Italicized Memory sections, all the stories that Harry might have written but had not. Analysis of Harry's memories-that is, analysis without due attention to the recurrent elements of plot, character, and setting and of how those memories interact with each other and interact with the overall narrative framework-can no longer purport to be complete, definitive, or even useful without considering Anderson's astute analysis.
"A true gift for Hemingway aficionados! With previously unpublished work by Hemingway, memories of the writer by those who knew him, and essays by an outstanding international team of scholars, this ...collection deepens our understanding of Hemingway's relationship to a country that he loved and that was central to his fiction."-Carl P. Eby, author ofHemingway's Fetishism: Psychoanalysis and the Mirror of Manhood "These extremely powerful essays bring a richer and more cosmopolitan understanding of the Italian underpinnings of Hemingway's writing."-Linda Patterson Miller, editor ofLetters from the Lost Generation: Gerald and Sara Murphy and Friends "A useful experience for readers. Its blending of biography and textual study is perfect."-Linda Wagner-Martin, editor ofHemingway: Eight Decades of Criticism From his World War I service in Italy through his transformational return visits during the decades that followed, Ernest Hemingway's Italian experiences were fundamental to his artistic development.Hemingway and Italy offers essays from top scholars, exciting new voices, and people who knew Hemingway during his Italian days, examining how his adopted homeland shaped his writing and his legacy. The collection addresses Hemingway's many Italys-the terrain and people he encountered during his life and the country he transposed into his fiction. Contributors analyze Hemingway's Italian works, includingA Farewell to Arms, Across the River and into the Trees,lesser-known short stories, fables, and even a previously unpublished Hemingway sketch, "Torcello Piece." The essays provide fresh insights on Hemingway's Italian life, career, and imagination.
Teaching Hemingway and Race provides a practicable means for teaching the subject of race in Hemingway’s writing and related texts—from how to approach ethnic, nonwhite international, and tribal ...characters to how to teach difficult questions of racial representation. Rather than suggesting that Hemingway’s portrayals of cultural otherness are
incidental to teaching and reading the texts, the volume brings them to the fore.
Included in the collection are Marc
Dudley’s instruction on how students may recognize “multiple selves at work in a text”; Margaret E. Wright-Cleveland’s approach to In Our Time , informed by American studies and women’s studies; and Ross Tangedal’s discussion of imperialism in Hemingway’s two nonfiction books.
Other topics addressed include
questions of developing vigorous learning
outcomes when teaching Hemingway,
Hemingway’s fascination with Latin America, teaching the Harlem Renaissance through Hemingway, discussing Hemingway’s “Soldier’s Home” and Langston Hughes’s “Home” in tandem, discussing the black presence in The Sun Also Rises , and a means for comparing how Jean Toomer, Ernest Gaines, and Hemingway deal with the issue of race.
This latest volume in the Teaching Hemingway series includes ten essays by leading scholars that place racial markers in their historical context, while also illuminating those connections for scholars, classroom teachers, and students. Readers will find it refreshing and enlightening to encounter essays that juxtapose Hemingway’s work alongside Alain Locke’s The New Negro and explore Hemingway’s influence on Jean Toomer, Langston Hughes, Ralph Ellison, Ernest Gaines, and other black writers.
