Author/Creator: Jopi Nyman
Publication Details: Zeitschrift für Anglistik und Amerikanistik: A Quarterly of Language, Literature, and Culture, Vol.47(1), pp.54-63
Annotation: Exploration of the culturally constructed masculine ideal found in The Battler and Fifty Grand. Asserts that Hemingway s image of the boxer challenges the conventional view of autonomous masculinity, revealing it to be merely performance rather than true essence. Concludes that both stories demonstrate the impossibility of achieving a stable masculine identity.
