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
under standing and appreciating his work, and Hemingway's Spain is
an indispensable exploration of Hemingway's home away from home.
