Title: Fitzgerald and Hemingway in 1925-1926
Author/Creator: Jeffrey Hart
Publication Details: Sewanee Review, Vol.105(3), pp.369-380
Annotation: Theorizes that The Sun Also Rises was written in direct response to Fitzgerald s The Great Gatsby (1925), a novel that Hemingway felt threatened his literary standing. Reads Hemingway s use of sun in the title as a rejoinder to Fitzgerald s moon imagery, thus asserting the superiority of the sun in rendering the truth of experience over the conventional romanticism of the moon.
