Title: Canonical Bedfellows: Ernest Hemingway and Henry James
Author/Creator: Eric Bennett
Publication Details: Workshops of Empire: Stegner, Engle, and American Creative Writing during the Cold War, pp.142-205
Annotation: Comparison study focusing on the reasons behind the seemingly odd pairing of Hemingway with James in graduate creative writing workshops of the cold war era. Highlights Hemingway s influence on and appeal to students, emphasizing his strict self-discipline in both writing and lifestyle and hearty individualism. Bennett contrasts Hemingway s stylistic contributions with James s more theoretical offerings focused on art rather than the artist. Frequent references to Hemingway s canon throughout.
