- Annotation
- Overview of Hemingway s life and writing, addressing his ultra-masculine persona and treatment of gender and race in his major works. Discusses the influence of Ezra Pound and Gertrude Stein on Hemingway s innovative style and concludes with an examination of his relationship with the unspoiled America of his youth, later transnational experiences, and the writings associated with these geographical areas. Messent suggests that Hemingway s travels were motivated by a desire for refuge from the global contamination of modernization and its effects, casting the author as an important figure in contemporary transnational literary studies.
