- Annotation
- Approaches novels by Hemingway, Faulkner, DeLillo, and McCarthy through a lyric poetry lens, focusing on each author s employment of polysyndeton, the repetitive use of coordinating conjunctions to achieve a variety of dramatic effects. Discusses Hemingway s use of the rhetorical device in key passages of A Farewell to Arms to level traditional hierarchies and build emotional intensity. Concludes that Hemingway s careful balancing of the protracted poetic structure within his iconic minimalist style enabled him to artistically and realistically explore the emotional polarities of love and war.
