Hemingway's Short Stories
"Sometimes characterized as the most significant author since Shakespeare, Ernest Hemingway was an acknowledged master of the short story, with his groundbreaking style and its apparent simplicity and honesty changing the nature of English prose fiction. While in the early 1920s some mainstream editors seemed baffled by their subtlety, today his stories are mainstays in the classroom, taught at all levels from secondary school through university graduate courses. In this collection, 13 master teachers from all levels discuss these and other aspects of his work, demonstrating how they motivate students to appreciate what Hemingway is doing. In the process, the collection argues, one can put t...
Teaching Hemingway and Gender
Ernest Hemingway's place in American letters seems guaranteed: a winner of Nobel and Pulitzer prizes, Hemingway has long been a fixture in high school and college curricula. Just as influential as his famed economy of style and unflappable heroes, however, is his public persona. Heming- way helped create an image of a masculine ideal: sportsman, brawler, hard drinker, serial monogamist, and world traveler. Yet his iconicity has also worked against him. Because Hemingway is often dismissed by students and scholars alike for his perceived misogyny, instructors might find themselves wondering how to handle the impossibly over-determined author or even if they should include him on their syllabi...
Hemingway and Posthumanism
Ernest Hemingway is often recognised for his contributions to the intellectual and artistic experimentation of his day, including modernism, primitivism, naturalism and creative nonfiction. He has also long been situated in debates about the environment, often receiving criticism for his hunting practices and taken as iconic of an aggressive masculinity. This collection considers another influential artistic and intellectual formation that has particular resonance for reading Hemingway, despite postdating his life by more than a decade: posthumanism. The contributions highlight the many resonances between Hemingway's life and writing and the notions of posthumanism, including, for example: Hemingway's emphasis on a human creaturely life; his insistence on human participation in genuine ecologies; his use of and writing about technologies and prosthetics (as in cases of injury); and his scepticism about forces of modernity, economic development, labour norms and more. The collection also shows how investigating Hemingway alongside posthumanism can yield new insights about this author and contribute to posthumanist thought and practice.
The Critics and Hemingway, 1924-2014
Traces Hemingway's critical fortunes over the ninety years of his prominence, telling us something about what we value in literature and why scholarly reputations rise and fall. Hemingway burst on the literary scene in the 1920s with spare, penetrating short stories and brilliant novels. Soon he was held as a standard for modern writers. Meanwhile, he used his celebrity to create a persona like the stoic, macho heroes of his fiction. After a decline during the 1930s and 1940s, he came roaring back with The Old Man and the Sea in 1952. Two years later he received the Nobel Prize. While his popularity waxed and waned during his lifetime, Hemingway's reputation among scholars remained strong as...
The Critical Reception of Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises
This History of the criticism of The Sun Also Rises shows not only how Hemingway's first major novel was received over the decades, but also how different critical modes have dominated different decades, and what, besides tenure, critics of different eras looked for in it. As such, it shows what has interested critics, how they have reinterpreted the novel, and how they have seen the characters playing different roles. Thus the novel becomes a mirror, reflecting not only Paris and Spain in 1925, but us.
