- Philosophical history on the role of Hemingway, Faulkner, and other revived modernists in delineating the nature of humanity following World War II. Treats Hemingway s focus on the will of man and endurance of the human spirit in The Old Man and the Sea, suggesting Faulkner s 1950 Nobel Prize speech embodying a message of hope as the inspiration for the novella s themes. Addresses the influence of literary criticism, canon formation, and university curricular transformation.
