Title: International Creation: Examining Cross-Cultural Influences in Ernest Hemingway s For Whom the Bell Tolls
Author/Creator: Matthias Krug
Publication Details: Interdisciplinary Literary Studies, Vol.15(2), pp.261-288
Annotation: Cognitive literary analysis of the impact of Hemingway s linguistic choices on the reader. Krug asserts that Hemingway was deeply affected by cross-cultural influences such as his experiences in the Spanish Civil War and his admiration of the French painter C zanne, and that he used these influences in the novel to convey his message regarding the devastating effects of war. Krug charts the writer-reader dynamic and includes detailed examinations of narrative elements (e.g. title, opening paragraph, and reoccurring metaphors) to emphasize the novel s cross-cultural methods for successfully conveying its themes of love and death.
