- Annotation
- Examines Hemingway s innovative employment of Spanish idiom in For Whom the Bell Tolls, arguing for the author s ethical translation of the Spanish culture. Lonsdale analyzes Hemingway s language construction that defamiliarizes English and enhances the expressive power of words. Contends that the author s often criticized mistranslations, far from reflecting communication failure, extend and deepen his range of meaning in English by evoking subtly nuanced impressions. Lonsdale focuses on the novel s interlingual use of the words barbarous and barbarism, uncovering thematic connections between Hemingway s language and complex depiction of primitivism and modernity in his novel of civil war.
