- Annotation
- Argues that Hemingway borrows significant stylistic and thematic elements from other writers, at times to challenge their writing. Wagner-Martin detects instances of literary borrowing in Hemingway s Spanish imagery, treatment of war, and protagonist type. She pays special attention to ways in which Hemingway s heroes respond to those of Henry James, as well as Ford Madox Ford s protagonist in The Good Soldier (1915), and concludes that some of the best elements of Hemingway s fiction were inspired by his literary predecessors. Frequent references to The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms, and The Garden of Eden.
