- Annotation
- Links the artistry of the writer with the artistry of the matador and spectacle of the corrida. Stoltzfus focuses on Hemingway s desire in Death in the Afternoon and The Dangerous Summer to give permanency to the impermanent artistry of performance in the bullring. Compares Hemingway s treatment of the bullfight to Henry de Montherlant s bullfighting works. Identifies the French writer s incorporation of the ancient Roman cult of Mithraism, which engaged in the ritual killing of bulls, as notably absent in Hemingway s writings on the same topic.
