- Annotation
- Contending that Hemingway equated love with erotic desire, Wagner-Martin argues that most of his texts are romances in which female characters exist in relation to the male. Drawing on John G. Cawelti s theories of romance, Wagner-Martin provides a detailed analysis of A Farewell to Arms and For Whom the Bell Tolls to illustrate how even war scenes reinforce the conventional romance. Includes a brief discussion of A Moveable Feast, A Room on the Garden Side, and Hemingway s 1950s letters to Adriana Ivancich to ultimately characterize Hemingway as an inventive writer of erotica.
