Title: Individualists or Collectivists? Steinbeck s In Dubious Battle and Hemingway s To Have and Have Not
Author/Creator: Richard S. Pressman
Publication Details: Steinbeck Quarterly, Vol.25(3-4), pp.119-133
Annotation: Compares the leftist political ideology espoused in each novel, summing up the lengthy critical debate over whether the novel s central themes support collectivism or individualism. Contends that these proletarian works served as each author s reaction to the Great Depression, and that while they engage the era, they also evade it, reflecting their ambivalent feelings on the subject.
