Title: Lilith Started It! Catherine as Lilith in The Garden of Eden
Author/Creator: Tamara M. Powell
Publication Details: Hemingway Review, Vol.15(2), pp.78-88
Annotation: Refutes traditional readings of David and Catherine as Adam and Eve, asserting that Catherine plays the role of the androgynous Lilith from ancient Jewish tradition. Provides a literary comparison to Rossetti s Eden Bower and Lilith (poems familiar to Hemingway) and argues for the author s sympathetic view toward female characters.
