- Annotation
- Comparison study of their sea novels, examining each author s thematic treatment of loss, change, and violence considering Custer s Last Stand myth. Contends that for Hemingway s characters the threat of encroaching civilization upon the idealized sea is more tragic and nostalgic than for London s whose strength and endurance enable them to envision a hopeful future. Compares To Have and Have Not, The Old Man and the Sea, and Islands in the Stream to London s The Sea-Wolf (1904) and A Son of the Sun (1912).
