Current bibliography.

Larson, Kelli A.

[The current bibliography aspires to include all serious contributions to Hemingway scholarship. Given the substantial quantity of significant critical work appearing on Hemingway's life and writings annually, inconsequential items from the popular press have been omitted to facilitate the distinction of important developments and trends in the field. Annotations for articles appearing in The Hemingway Review have been omitted due to the immediate availability of abstracts introducing each issue. Kelli Larson welcomes),our assistance in keeping this feature current. Please send reprints, clippings, and photocopies of articles, as well as notices of new books, directly to Larson at the University of St. Thomas, 333 JRC, 2115 Summit Avenue, St. Paul, MN 55105-1096.

Buske, Morris. Hemingway's Education, A Re-Examination: Oak Park High School and the Legacy of Principal Hanna. Lewiston [NY]: Edwin Mellen P, 2007. [Comprehensive examination of EH's secondary education, reconstructing year by year his high school curriculum and experiences under innovative high school principal John Calvin Hanna. Suggests that Hanna's implementation of a strong language core emphasizing intensive writing and the study of English literature may have influenced EH's early development as a writer more than previously thought. Helpful appendices include biographies of EH's teachers and publication of the Mainland Collection of EH's high school papers (poems and non-fiction narratives written for his junior and senior English classes).]

Gellhorn, Martha. Selected Letters of Martha Gellhorn. Ed. Caroline Moorehead. New York: Henry Holt and Company, 2006. [Reprints only a fraction of Gellhorn's letters written over the course of her lifetime. Documents each letter, some cut heavily, with the name of the recipient, date, and place of origin. Counts EH as one of Gellhorn's "principal" correspondents and includes letters to and about EH spanning their eight years together and beyond. Provides helpful prefatory material and informative notes, along with an extensive index.]

Mandel, Miriam B. Hemingway's The Dangerous Summer: The Complete Annotations. Lanham [MD]: Scarecrow P, 2008. [Comprehensive guide to the people, animals, places, and other cultural constructs found in TDS. General readers and scholars alike will appreciate the thoroughness and helpfulness of the annotations. Entries are arranged alphabetically with each entry identifying where the item appears in the Scribner's edition for easy cross reference. Mandel's extensive introduction examines the history and development of the bullfight, the cultural context of 20th century Spain, the composition history of the narrative, and EH's long term relationship with Spain.]

Ott, Mark R A Sea of Change: Ernest Hemingway and the Gulf Stream, a Contextual Biography. Kent [OH]: Kent State UP, 2008. [Literary biography drawing upon EH's fishing logs, correspondence (published and unpublished), and newspaper articles to reconstruct the author's complex relationship with the Gulf Stream and its influence on his writing. Ott traces EH's stylistic and philosophic transformation from Cezanne-inspired abstraction in the 1920s to the realism of the 1950s, contending that a close reading of the fishing logs reveals both EH's growing understanding of the natural world and evolution as a writer. Focuses on AFTA, THHN, and OMATS. Includes a chronology of EH's time spent in the Gulf Stream and a list of books from EH's library that may have influenced the composition of THHN and OMATS.]

Strong, Amy L. Race and Identity in Hemingway's Fiction. New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2008. [Examines how EH's lifelong interest in race and racial difference complicates his creation of the white male protagonist and helps to define American identity. "Some of the most celebrated concepts found in Hemingway's works--freedom, individuality, innocence, loss, and masculinity--are completely enmeshed and entwined with racial tropes of whiteness versus blackness, dominance versus subordination, conquest versus discovery." Argues that early stories such as "Indian Camp," "Ten Indians," and "The Doctor and the Doctor's Wife" reveal the brutality historically associated with white-Indian relations. Addresses white supremacist attitudes in "The Battler" and "The Light of the World" and white imperialism in "The Short, Happy Life of Francis Macomber" and "The Snows of Kilimanjaro." Examines race, ethnicity and homosexuality in GOE and discusses EH's ambivalence regarding race and racial identity in Under Kilimanjaro. Compares EH's sympathy with the Africans who lost their land and positions of power in these later texts with the Native Americans of his early stories.]

ESSAYS

Armengol, Josep M. "Gendering Men: Re-Visions of Violence as a Test of Manhood in American Literature." Atlantis, revista de la Asociacion Espanola de Estudios Anglo-Norteamericanos 29.2 (December 2007): 75-92. [Opens with an overview of gender and masculinity studies in American literature. Compares EH's "An African Story" (1954) with Richard Ford's "Communist" (1987) to demonstrate how the conventional concept of masculinity as violence found in EH's story evolves in the much later Ford story to reveal the negative effects of male violence. EH's vision of violence as a test of manhood and a symbol of heroism is challenged in Ford's "subversive re-writing of the traditional Hemingwayesque conception of hunting as a proof of manly daring." Ford provides alternative non-violent images of men able to leave their negative pasts in favor of positive futures.]

Beegel, Susan F. "Bulletin Board." The Hemingway Review 27.2 (Spring 2008): 152-154.

Corn, Alfred. "Beloved Patrons." Hudson Review 61.1 (Spring 2008): 178-188. [Notes the influence of EH, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and other writers on the life and work of Gerald and Sara Murphy. Comments briefly on EH's special friendship with Sara and eventual estrangement from the couple.]

Dunne, Michael. "Ernest Hemingway: 'Isn't It Pretty to Think So?'" Calvinist Humor in American Literature. Baton Rouge: Louisiana State UP, 2007. 128-144. [Focuses on EH's use of irony in IOT and SAR.

Defining Calvinist humor in terms of the limits of human behavior (i.e. the irony of Fallen Man unable to realize his own fallen state), Dunne argues that although EH's fiction shifts away from religious orthodoxy, his use of the code, especially in his early fiction, serves as a secular substitute in the modern world. Stories examined include "The Doctor and the Doctor's Wife," "Soldier's Home," "My Old Man," "A Very Short Story," and "Big Two-Hearted River."]

Engle, Karen. "Judging Sex in War." Michigan Law Review 106.6 (April 2008): 941-961. [Drawing on legal and literary wartime accounts, Engle argues that wartime rape should not be viewed as a fate worse than death by feminists and humanitarians because it robs women of their sexual, political, and military agency. Reads FWBT's Pilar and Maria as unconventional, though at times stereotypical, challenges to the dominant narratives told about women in war that traditionally reduce them to the role of victim. Concludes that "Overstating gender differences through the universalizing of harms experienced by women in war is likely to lead to the proliferation of legal rules and popular understandings that further entrench the power dynamics we often seek to combat."]

Gilead, Amihud. "How Few Words Can the Shortest Story Have?" Philosophy & Literature 32.1 (April 2008): 119-129. [Comparison study of EH's apocryphal short story of only six words ("For sale: baby shoes, never worn") with the two sentence story entitled "Knock" by Frederic Brown, concluding that EH's story creates greater emotional impact because there is no possibility of consolation or relief.]

Grabher, Gudrun M. "Death in Africa in Muammar Qaddafi's 'Death' and Ernest Hemingway's 'The Snows of Kilimanjaro.'" North-South Linkages and Connections in Continental and Disapora African Literatures. Eds. Edris Makward, Mark L. Lilleleht, and Ahmed Saber. Trenton, NJ: Africa World P, 2005. 292-300. [Thematic study comparing EH's treatment of the nature of death and mortality with Qaddafi's, noting that for both authors death takes many guises and is inescapable. Discusses much of the symbolism found in "Snows" (e.g. Dark Continent, snow, infected leg), suggesting that the cowardly hyena and mean vulture are representations of Harry's character on his way to death.]

Discusses the influence of Cezanne on EH's writing. Reads Africa and David's African story as alternatives to civilization.]

Lucy Kay, et al. New York: Peter Lang, 2008. 137-165. [Drawing on trauma theory, Messent examines the effects of trauma on the scarred Nick Adams, connecting both the loss of living normally (liminality) and repetition to a number of stories including "Big Two-Hearted River, "Now I Lay Me," "Fathers and Sons," and "A Way You'll Never Be." Despite the damage incurred, Messent argues that there is hope for the traumatized Hemingway hero, as evidenced by Cantwell's (ARIT) successful return to the site of his injury.]

Meyers, Jeffrey. "Hemingway and Harold Loeb: An Unpublished Letter." Michigan Quarterly Review 45.3 (Summer 2006): 433-435. ]Details the contents of an early unpublished letter to Loeb in which EH laments his relationship with publisher Boni and Liveright, boasts about his current work ("Fifty Grand" and SAR), and inquires about mutual friends.]

--. "Hemingway's Feasts." Papers on Language & Literature 43.4 (Fall 2007): 426-442. [Offers a smorgasbord of food descriptions taken from articles, short stories, and novels spanning EH's career. Meyers samples briefly from each, concluding that "Hemingway's heroes have the same appetite for food as they do for hunting and fishing, boxing and war, women and sex, and meals remain a touchstone of their existence. Though tragedy destroys many of his heroes, rich feasts, devoured with gusto, are a constant source of sensual pleasure." Includes references to TOS, ARIT, SAR, MF, AFTA, and many others.]

--. "Picasso and Hemingway: A Dud Poem and a Live Grenade." Michigan Quarterly Review 45.3 (Summer 2006): 422-432. [Draws on two anecdotes to conclude that Picasso and EH were friends.]

[Sees the story as "suggestive of Hemingway's life without being totally biographical." Contends young Nick in this early story is imperative to our understanding of the later, more mature Nick and characters including Frederic Henry, Jake Barnes, Robert Jordan, Richard Cantwell, and David Bourne, especially in his developing attitudes toward women, race, and father figures. In addition to AFTA, SAR, FWTBT, ARIT and GOE, Nolan briefly discusses "Indian Camp," "Ten Indians," and "Fathers and Sons."]

Pridemore, Adam. "Decolonizing the Native Conch in Ernest Hemingway's To Have and Have Not;, Harry Morgan as a Cautionary Tale against Tourism." In Florida Studies Proceedings of the 2006 Annual Meeting of the Florida College English Association. Eds. Steve Glassman and Karen Tolchin. Newcastle Upon Tyne, England: Cambridge Scholars, 2007. 91-97. [Drawing on postcolonial theory, Pridemore argues that THHN "predicts, confirms, and bemoans the commercialization and exploitation that have become second nature to the conflicted neocolonial colossus that is the United States of America." Sees tourists as the ultimate colonizers, corrupting and destroying the native culture of Key West to meet the prescribed cultural representation of their dominant imagination. While Harry may lament the burning down of shacks to make room for tourist apartments, his recognition in the end is not enough to stop the rampant commercialism that surrounds him.]

Prigozy, Ruth. "The Fifth Column: A Play by Ernest Hemingway." The Hemingway Review 27.2 (Spring 2008): 135-136. [A review of the spring 2008 production presented at New York City's Mint Theater and directed by Jonathan Bank.]

In Florida Studies Proceedings of the 2005 Annual Meeting of the Florida College English Association. Eds. Steve Glassman and Karen Tolchin. Newcastle Upon Tyne, England: Cambridge Scholars, 2006. 157-163. [Brief discussion of D/A, GHOA, and THHN, connecting all three to EH's growing despair over the corruption and destruction of his favorite places and people. Sees the dangers of modernism and change as ultimately leading to the loss of self reflected in EH's works of the 1930s.]

Amsterdam, Netherlands: Rodopi, 2007. 189-202. [Chronicles the young EH's frustration with Ford Madox Ford's mentoring and conservative management of the transatlantic review. Swartzlander contends that despite EH's growing animosity towards Ford, SAR clearly demonstrates Ford's significant influence on the young writer in EH's adaption of titles, stylistic techniques, characterization, and use of place names and biblical allusions.]

Thomas, Gordon. "An Immovable Feast? Another Look at Henry King's The Sun Also Rises." Bright Lights Film Journal 55 (February 2007): no pagination. [Announces the DVD release of King's 1957 film adaptation of SAR. Thomas pans several Hollywood adaptations of EH's works (including AFTA and OMATS) but praises screenwriter Peter Viertel for his "skillful adaptation" while under the watchful eyes of censors. Though he agrees with EH who characterized the film as a travelogue of "bistros, bullfights, and more bistros," Thomas suggests that the casting (Tyrone Power, Errol Flynn, Ava Gardner, and Eddie Albert) makes this adaptation worthwhile even for today's audience.]

Umunc, Himmet. "Hemingway in Turkey: Historical Contexts and Cultural Intertexts." Belleten 69.254 (2005): 629-642. [Contends that EH's political and cultural biases distort his fictional representations of Turkey in "On the Quai at Smyrna," the second interchapter of IOT, and Harry's recollections in "The Snows of Kilimanjaro." Claims EH's three portraits of a savage and unpredictable Turkish character, based largely upon his own observations during a brief visit to Istanbul and information obtained from Allied sources, are "morally controversial, historically inadequate, culturally antagonistic, and politically prejudiced." Umunc attempts to set the record straight with an overview of Turkey's political and military history at the time of EH's writings.]
