Title: Mr. Wilson s War: Peace, Neutrality, and Entangling Alliances in Hemingway s In Our Time
Author/Creator: Craig Carey
Publication Details: Hemingway Review, Vol.31(2), pp.6-26
Annotation: Draws on the theory behind Woodrow Wilson s rhetorical leadership, as well as an analysis of thought, action, and leadership in the novel, to argue that Hemingway s minimalist style directly responds to Wilson s verbose rhetoric surrounding World War I. Shows how Hemingway s reporting for the Toronto Star and the structure of In Our Time criticize Wilson s idealistic belief in mediation, and argues that the language of the novel exhorts leaders to achieve peace by remaining balanced yet active amid political strife.
