Metaphorical Illness in Hemingway's Works Abstract Hemingway, through his characters, illustrates the many different genres and functions of disease. More than just inflictors of sadness and pain, disease and injury are part of the human condition. They are undeniable truths that give life to humanity, Hemingway’s characters, and Hemingway himself. As Hemingway writes in Death in the Afternoon, “…all stories, if continued far enough, end in death, and he is no true storyteller who would keep that from you.” Part of Hemingway’s art is acknowledging that there is no true cure. Vitality and death, contentedness and pain, disease and survival all coexist in Hemingway’s writing as one: life.

  • Martha Gellhorn and Ernest Hemingway
    MARTHA GELLHORN AND ERNEST HEMINGWAY: A LITERARY RELATIONSHIP H. L. Salmon, B.A. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2003 APPROVED: Timothy Parrish, Major Professor Peter Shillingsburg, Minor Professor Jacqueline Vanhoutte, Committee Member Brenda Sims, Chair, Graduate Studies in English C. Neal Tate, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Salmon, H. L., Martha Gellhorn and Ernest Hemingway: A Literary Relationship, Master of Arts (English). May 2003. 55 pp. Martha Gellhorn and Ernest Hemingway met in Key West in 1937, married in 1941, and divorced in 1945. Gellhorn’s work exhibits a strong influence from Hemingway’s work, including collaboration on her work during their marriage. I will discuss three of her six novels: WMP (1934), Liana (1944), and Point of No Return (1948). The areas of influence that I will rely on in many ways follow the stages Harold Bloom outlines in Anxiety of Influence. Gellhorn’s work exposes a stage of influence that Bloom does not describe—which I term collaborative. By looking at Hemingway’s influence in Gellhorn’s writing the difference between traditional literary influence and collaborative influence can be compared and analyzed, revealing the footprints left in a work by a collaborating author as opposed to simply an influential one. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank Dr. Tim Parrish, who from its inception encouraged me to take on this project and whose encouragement throughout my degree work has been insightful and inspiring. Dr. Peter Shillingsburg served as a reader and mentor, and his high standards and personal integrity challenged me to make sure my own scholarship is a credible as his own.

  • To Inflame the Censors: Hemingway's Use of Obscenity in to Have And
    OF LEGAL AND LITERARY INTEREST To Inflame the Censors Hemingway’s Use of Obscenity in To Have and Have Not BY HON. MONA K. MAJZOUB AND CHRISTOPHER J. DOYLE Ernest Hemingway’s dedication to “full use of the English language” provoked a backlash culminating in the 1938 Detroit ban of To Have and Have Not. The legal battle over the ban of the controversial novel was mired by procedural irregularities, but the litigation catalyzed legal and artistic breakthroughs that ultimately furthered Hemingway’s objective of promoting realism in literature. EDITOR’S NOTE: THIS ARTICLE CONTAINS LANGUAGE WHICH SOME READERS MAY FIND OFFENSIVE. INTRODUCTION In the cabin of a rescue boat at sea between Cuba and Key West, Harry Morgan lies dying. Shot in the stomach by bank robbers This article would never have during a getaway gone wrong, the protagonist of Ernest been written without the urging Hemingway’s To Have and Have Not uses his last breaths to and encouragement of my stammer through a soliloquy that embodies a raw and fatalistic dear colleague, Judge Avern view of humanity: Cohn.

  • The Epilogue Not Chosen from for Whom the Bell Tolls
    The epilogue not chosen from For Whom the Bell Tolls … a series of love letters written from the front during the last months of WWII courting his fourth wife while married to his third … letters sent and received from more than 300 people including Marlene Dietrich, Ingrid Bergman, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Joan Miro, and Maxwell Perkins … Nobel Prize congratulatory telegrams from around the world … letters to his beloved sons … instructions in Spanish to the cook regarding preparation of favorite dishes and the day of the week he preferred to eat them … photographs of dinner parties, fishing trips, African safaris, and family celebrations … 9,000 book personal library. These documents reflect just a fraction of the treasures that exists at Hemingway’s home, Finca Vigía, in Cuba. Some papers are more than 90 years old. The most recent are from 1960. All are fragile, deteriorating, in peril of being destroyed by time and climate. Background. Finca Vigía (Lookout Farm), located on the outskirts of Havana, Cuba was Ernest Hemingway’s home from 1939-1960. It was there that he wrote standing at his typewriter, entertained, married twice, accepted his Nobel Prize for Literature, and pitched endless innings of baseball with the neighborhood children. Finca Vigía was the only one of his homes where the author put down roots, gathering the objects that he valued. He left in 1960 for medical treatment in the United States; in 1961 he committed suicide in Idaho. At the same time the Cuban government nationalized all property and Hemingway’s home was turned into a museum.

  • Selected Letters of Martha Gellhorn Ed. by Caroline Moorehead
    10/23/2014 Selected Letters of Martha Gellhorn Ed. by Caroline Moorehead Category: Vol. 1, 2006 Selected Letters of Martha Gellhorn Ed. by Caroline Moorehead Hits: 1760 The South Shore Journal, Vol. 1, 2006, pp. 103-107. Selected Letters of Martha Gellhorn Ed. by Caroline Moorehead (2006, NY: Henry Holt and Company, 544 pages, $32.50). Reviewed by Kevin Ostoyich, Valparaiso University, Department of History. She was a hack writer. Martha Gellhorn – novelist, war correspondent, and onetime wife of Ernest Hemingway – described herself as such. It turns out in addition to “bilging” (her term) The Trouble I’ve Seen, The Wine of Astonishment, The Weather in Africa, and Travels with Myself and Another, Gellhorn also penned a mountain of letters. She corresponded with a veritable Who’s Who of art, literature, journalism, and politics: including among others, Bernard Berenson, Leonard Bernstein, Eleanor Roosevelt, Adlai Stevenson, H.G. Wells, and, of course, Hemingway. Caroline Moorehead, author of Gellhorn: A Twentieth-Century Life, presents over five hundred pages of Gellhorn’s letters. The letters date from 1930 (as Gellhorn, fresh out of Bryn Mawr, began her literary career in France) to 1996 (when she was an octogenarian living in London). The collection provides a clear window into the life of a writer. The author’s pain and frustration are on display as Gellhorn recounts chucking draft after draft of “cement” prose into the wastebasket. The letters are not solely about the writing process, however, but cover the gamut of the human condition in times of war and peace. Life is presented in microcosmic detail: the laundry (often dirty) of domestic life, the wear of social hob- nobbing, the excitement of love, and bitterness of the love lost.

Hemingway's story of world-weary ex-patriates in Paris shortly after World War I won popular and critical acclaim, and in 1929 A Farewell to Arms brought the young author his first major commercial success.

Elcock, Associate Professor of English at Kansas State College, for her valuable assistance and counsel during this study; and to Miss Elizabeth Kerr, Professor of English at Rockford College, Rockford, Illinois, for her help in formu- lating the early ideas of this thesis. INTRODUCTION Ernest Hemingway's ideas show a distinct development from Farewell to Arms in 1929 to For Whom the Bell Tolls in 1940. This advance consists in a progression from loyalty to an in- dividual to a consideration of larger, ultimate issues of human welfare. This progress is shown in the choice of a more complex central character, a heightened unity secured by a correspondence of the character's two central passions instead of a division of purposes, a better portrayal of minor charac- ters, and a much more eloquent, emotionalized style. Hemingway has a technique of harmonizing simplicity of style with simplicity of ideas, situations, and motives that excites one's curiosity.
