- Annotation
- Discusses the influence of Pound s imagism and Agassiz s object-oriented naturalism on Hemingway s prose. Shakespeare argues that under Pound s guidance, Hemingway s prose evolved from a series of multitudinous impressions in My Old Man to a series of luminous details in Paris 1922. His close reading of the revision of Big Two-Hearted River aims to prove that Agassiz s method of seeing and Pound s method of revising were central to the way that concrete surfaces became the primary sites of meaning for Hemingway.
