Author/Creator: Richard Allan Davison
Publication Details: American Literary Dimensions: Poems and Essays in Honor of Melvin J. Friedman, pp.81-90
Annotation: Influence Study. Contends that Hemingway s exploration of human despair amid annihilation embodied in his old-man protagonist was influenced by American contemporaries, E. A. Robinson, Robert Frost, and Archibald MacLeish. Connects Hemingway to their poetry through their shared sense of living with dignity while saturated in nothingness.
