Title: Reading American War Literature, Reading Ernest Hemingway
Author/Creator: Alex Vernon
Publication Details: Soldiers Once and Still: Ernest Hemingway, James Salter, and Tim O’Brien, pp.27-85
Annotation: Examination of how Hemingway s World War I experiences shaped his sense of self and writing and in turn how his fiction informed the later war literature of Salter and O Brien. Vernon situates Hemingway s expression of social and gender identities within the contexts of modern literary history, twentieth-century war literature, and critical theory, drawing particularly on gender and feminist criticism. Discusses evolving cultural views on military service, masculinity, and women s roles in his study of The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms, Big Two-Hearted River, Soldier s Home, and other fiction.
