- Annotation
- Discusses how changes in Hemingway s clothing style reflected his conscious construction of his masculine persona. Elkins analyzes the calculated underdressing of machismo fashion, primarily characterized by military-style clothing and facial hair, and explains its significance for twentieth-century men seeking to reestablish patriarchal dominance. Elkins concludes that Hemingway s fashion helped him to achieve his immense popularity and that his personal style continues to appeal to Americans. Briefly discusses fashion in The Garden of Eden.
