Title: Hemingway, Style, and the Art of Emotion
Author/Creator: David Wyatt
Annotation: Reassesses Hemingway s canon to show his evolving style as more emotionally vulnerable than previously thought. Contends that Hemingway s struggle with emotional reticence led to a lifelong revisioning of his writing style marked by his shift away from omission toward inclusion. Wyatt analyzes the author s writings according to successive phases of his career (early, middle, and late), summing up the reader s emotional response to Hemingway s characters as anxiety, embarrassment, and remorse. Wyatt adds a fourth response, forgiveness, in his analysis of For Whom the Bell Tolls. Discusses in our time, In Our Time, The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms, Death in the Afternoon, Green Hills of Africa, The Old Man and the Sea, The Garden of Eden, A Moveable Feast, among others. Geared to scholars, students, and the general reader.
