- Annotation
- Surveys the failure of romantic love in the Hemingway canon, from the early The Tale of Orpen to the posthumous The Garden of Eden manuscripts. Sylvester defines the incongruity of women s desires for home and love and men s desires for accomplishment and individualism as inherently contradictory. Concludes that Hemingway s men and women must each settle for a relationship outside of the ideal order, recognizing that neither will ever have their needs fully met. Focuses primarily on A Farwell to Arms and The Tale of Orpen.
