Title: On Defiling Eden: The Search for Eve in the Garden of Sorrows
Author/Creator: Ann Putnam
Publication Details: Hemingway and Women: Female Critics and the Female Voice, pp.109-130
Annotation: Putnam argues that femininity is represented as both bountiful mother and eroticized other in the pastoral elements of the author s fiction. Analyzes the role of nature in Big Two-Hearted River, and briefly treats the same theme in several of his other works, to demonstrate how this paradox creates a tragic adventure, which appeals emotionally to female readers.
