- Annotation
- Drawing on performance, gender, and masculinity theories, Strychacz analyzes Hemingway s problematic representation of masculinity, focusing on true and false constructions of manhood repeated throughout the story. Contends that as a masculine performance, the story s critical reception reveals much about audience, particularly the social, cultural, and historical currents underlying early Hemingway scholarship. Maintains that to agree on Hemingway s strong adherence to tough masculine codes, early critics had to smooth over their differences on the definition of masculinity and its embodiment within texts.
