- Annotation
- Draws on William James s philosophical theories, arguing that Jamesion pragmatism helps the reader to understand several elements of the novel, including Frederic s emphasis on physical description in his narration and the complex love affair between Frederic and Catherine. Concludes that pragmatism is a helpful interpretive framework for all of Hemingway s fiction.
