Title: The Perils of Irony in Hemingway s The Sun Also Rises
Author/Creator: William Dow
Publication Details: Études Anglaises: Grande-Bretagne, États-Unis, Vol.58(2), pp.178-192
Annotation: Takes issue with previous irony studies focusing on exclusion and rejection of idealism. Dow contends that a linguistic and epistemological approach reveals how each character s search for self-knowledge relates to others. Dow concludes: Because The Sun Also Rises succeeds in establishing an indirect system of communication (and not a distance ) between narrator and reader, there is a constant tension between dissimulation and revelation, humor and seriousness, fundamental to the processes of irony.
