- Annotation
- Compares the underlying gender dynamics in their stories of bitter homecomings. Trout draws on iconic visual examples from pamphlets, posters, and sheet music covers of the era to argue that though both authors depict the power of culturally driven war imagery, Boyd s 1925 story focuses on the devastating effect of demonizing the other while Hemingway s exposes the myth of the deified mother. Reads Krebs s rebellion against maternal authority as both a realization of his own matured perspective of home since returning from war and a rejection of the Progressive era sexual values his mother represents.
