Title: War: World War I
Author/Creator: Alex Vernon
Publication Details: Ernest Hemingway in Context, pp.388-394
Annotation: Outlines the history of the war and its enormous impact on Hemingway and his writing. Contends that the genius of A Farewell to Arms lies in Hemingway s successful adaptation of his personal experience into fiction by focusing on the war s European context, thus making the novel as political as the later For Whom the Bell Tolls. Concludes with a brief analysis of The Garden of Eden as a World War I novel, arguing that Hemingway veterans associated trauma with emasculation.
