Title: Hemingway's British Accents
Author/Creator: David Barnes
Publication Details: Symbiosis, Vol.26(2), pp.173-186
Annotation: Explores the distancing effect and performative role of British voices in Hemingway's 1920s fiction, drawing on key scenes from the vignettes of In Our Time, The Torrents of Spring, and A Farewell to Arms. Focusing on distinctions between British and American modes of speech, Barnes looks at how Hemingway's treatment of transnational communication deconstructs and blurs national identities. Ties Hemingway's linguistic experimentation to American modernism's wider preoccupation with issues of expatriation and ethnicity.
