- Annotation
- Discusses each author's lifelong religious curiosity, which drew them away from their childhood religions toward Catholicism and compares their evocation of Ecclesiastes in their respective novels of how to live well in the world, Wharton's The House of Mirth (1905) and Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises. Looks at how each adapted the biblical book's sacred-secular philosophy to embrace joy and love despite life's limitations. Comments on Ecclesiastes' modernist characteristics and immense popularity with both Christian readers and skeptics in the early twentieth century.
