- Annotation
- Examines the Lost Generation s conflicted relationship with the traditional model of the American Dream put forth by Franklin. Compares both the semiautobiographical Jake Barnes of The Sun Also Rises and the idealized Hemingway of A Moveable Feast to the young protagonist of Franklin s Autobiography (1791), concluding that Franklin and Hemingway held remarkably similar ideals.
