The fully-lived, yet tragically ended life of Ernest Hemingway
has attracted nearly as much attention as his extensive canon of
writings. This critical study introduces students to both the man
and his fiction, exploring how Hemingway confronted in his own life
the same moral issues that would later create thematic conflicts
for the characters in his novels. In addition to the biographical
chapter which focuses on the pivotal events in Hemingway's personal
life, a literary heritage chapter overviews his professional
developments, relating his distinctive style to his early years as
a journalist. With clear concise analysis, students are guided
through all of Hemingway's major works including "The Sun Also
Rises" (1926), "A Farewell to Arms" (1929), "For Whom the Bell
Tolls" (1940), and "The Old Man and the Sea" (1952). Full chapters
are also devoted to examining his collections of short fiction, the
African Stories, and the posthumous works.
Each chapter carefully examines the major literary components of
Hemingway's fiction with plot synopsis, analysis of character
development, themes, settings, historical context, and stylistic
features. Alternate critical readings are also given for each of
the full length works. An extensive bibliography citing all of
Hemingway's writings as well as biographical sources, general
criticism, and contemporary reviews will help students understand
the scope of Hemingway's contributions to American Literature.
