- Annotation
- On Hemingway s relation to James, analyzing the interlocking forces of authorial influence and sexual anxiety on Hemingway s formative years. Haralson examines Hemingway s life and writing in the context of Jamesian sexual identity and the price of adhering to cultural prescriptions. Discusses the relevance of sexual politics for Hemingway, his contemporaries, and a heteronormatively-biased audience, claiming Hemingway s rejection of James and his conflation of impotence and creativity led to his identity and persona of hypermasculinity. Draws on The Torrents of Spring, The Sun Also Rises, and A Moveable Feast.
