“Come Let Us Build a Monument to Ezra.” Ghent University Faculty of Arts and Philosophy Academic year: 2014-2015 (August) “Come Let Us Build a Monument to Ezra.” Imagist Affinities between the Poetics of Ezra Pound and the Poems of Ernest Hemingway: A Modernist Friendship and a Quest for Truth. Supervisor: Dr. Kate Macdonald Master dissertation submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of “Master in de Vergelijkende Moderne Letterkunde” by Birgit Van Asch. Acknowledgements First of all I would like to thank my supervisor, Kate Macdonald. I am convinced that I could not have wished for better guidance. Knowing that she was always there to immediately answer my questions or willing to proofread chapters, I felt reassured and there was nothing more motivational than reading her expert comments on my writings. Secondly, I also owe great gratitude to my parents. For months, they allowed me to use this dissertation as an excuse for every time I burst out into tears or reacted overly annoyed at things they did or said. I want to thank them for their inexhaustible support, for always believing in me and pushing me to my limits ever since I was a child. If it weren’t for them, I would not be the student and person I am now. And although I was never able to convince my mother that literature was by no means inferior to linguistics, she has always allowed me to chase my own dreams. Also all of my friends deserve their spot here, for letting me breathe again when things got on top of me. Especially my best friend and roommate Antje has proven to be irreplaceable: thank you for doing the dishes, thank you for your supportive texts and thank you, just for being you. Also my fellow-VML students Anneleen, Ans and Lore have made this master year and writing this thesis an unforgettable experience. We made an amazing team. Lastly, I want to thank all the professors and teaching assistants that have ignited and throughout the years further nurtured my love for literature. Their classes always showed me that there is so much more to literature than what you get at first sight, no matter how beautiful it may already be on the surface. There is always more underneath and it really does matter.

  • Ernest Hemingway Global American Modernist
    Ernest Hemingway Global American Modernist Lisa Tyler Sinclair Community College, USA Iconic American modernist Ernest Hemingway spent his entire adult life in an interna- tional (although primarily English-speaking) modernist milieu interested in breaking with the traditions of the past and creating new art forms. Throughout his lifetime he traveled extensively, especially in France, Spain, Italy, Cuba, and what was then British East Africa (now Kenya and Tanzania), and wrote about all of these places: “For we have been there in the books and out of the books – and where we go, if we are any good, there you can go as we have been” (Hemingway 1935, 109). At the time of his death, he was a global celebrity recognized around the world. His writings were widely translated during his lifetime and are still taught in secondary schools and universities all over the globe. Ernest Hemingway was born 21 July 1899, in Oak Park, Illinois, also the home of Frank Lloyd Wright, one of the most famous modernist architects in the world. Hemingway could look across the street from his childhood home and see one of Wright’s innovative designs (Hays 2014, 54). As he was growing up, Hemingway and his family often traveled to nearby Chicago to visit the Field Museum of Natural History and the Chicago Opera House. Because of the 1871 fire that destroyed structures over more than three square miles of the city, a substantial part of Chicago had become a clean slate on which late nineteenth-century and early twentieth-century architects could design what a modern city should look like.

Then, I have to thank my supervisor, professor. Fatiha KAID BERRAHAL in THELIDJI Amar -University-Laghouat For the continuous support of my PhD study and related research, for her patience, motivation, and immense knowledge. Her guidance helped me in all the time of research and writing of this thesis. I could not have imagined having a better advisor and mentor for my PhD study. There are no proper words to convey my deep gratitude and respect for her. She has inspired me to become an independent researcher and helped me realize the power of critical reasoning. In fact the Thesis writing process has been a long journey for me, seven years of research that would not have been possible without her belief in me. I also thank my wife and partner who supported me through this venture and for her stimulating discussions, for the sleepless nights we were working together, especially these last three months, before deadlines, and for all the fun mixed with irritability we have had in the last six years.

Nevertheless, although he is working in a crea­ tive genre as opposed to an expository one, the writer of fiction without doubt leaves a portion of his real self among the many words that he spends portraying imaginary happenings. For this reason, in The Old Man and the Sea, I am able to examine. autobiographical metaphors that reveal Ernest Hemingway's aesthetics as intimated by the symbolic words and actions of Santiago as the fisherman-artist. The existence of such an element in The Old Man has been pub­ licly recognized by a handful of critics, but each of their published comments is short. Therefore, I have endeavored to amplify what up to now has received only cursory treatment. I wish to express appreciation to the members of my dissertation committee. The main burden of supervising my project was ably handled by my committee chairman, Dr.

  • AMERICAN LITERARY MINIMALISM by ROBERT CHARLES
    AMERICAN LITERARY MINIMALISM by ROBERT CHARLES CLARK (Under the Direction of James Nagel) ABSTRACT American Literary Minimalism stands as an important yet misunderstood stylistic movement. It is an extension of aesthetics established by a diverse group of authors active in the late-nineteenth and early twentieth centuries that includes Amy Lowell, William Carlos Williams, and Ezra Pound. Works within the tradition reflect several qualities: the prose is “spare” and “clean”; important plot details are often omitted or left out; practitioners tend to excise material during the editing process; and stories tend to be about “common people” as opposed to the powerful and aristocratic. While these descriptors and the many others that have been posited over the years are in some ways helpful, the mode remains poorly defined. The core idea that differentiates American Minimalism from other movements is that prose and poetry should be extremely efficient, allusive, and implicative. The language in this type of fiction tends to be simple and direct. Narrators do not often use ornate adjectives and rarely offer effusive descriptions of scenery or extensive detail about characters’ backgrounds. Because authors tend to use few words, each is invested with a heightened sense of interpretive significance. Allusion and implication by omission are often employed as a means to compensate for limited exposition, to add depth to stories that on the surface may seem superficial or incomplete. Despite being scattered among eleven decades, American Minimalists share a common aesthetic. They were not so much enamored with the idea that “less is more” but that it is possible to write compact prose that still achieves depth of setting, characterization, and plot without including long passages of exposition.

  • On the Early Letters of Ernest Hemingway Teasing, Typewriting, Editing
    On the Early Letters of Ernest Hemingway Teasing, Typewriting, Editing E. J. F. Allen Abstract Ernest Hemingway has rarely seemed a reliable pen pal — not, in the main, through any fault of his own, but because the evidence for determining any such identity has been hard to assemble. In 2011, Sandra Spanier and Robert W. Trogdon published the first volume of Hemingway’s collected letters, and in doing so prompted a reevaluation of his epistolary habit; one that requires careful editing and close textual scrutiny. Taking the first volume of the new Letters as a case study, this article offers an interpretative approach to matters of textuality, typographic expression, and mechanical accident that lie at the heart of Heming- way’s early life-writing. In March 1924 a collection of prose vignettes appeared among the spring offerings of Shakespeare and Company on the rue de l’Odéon in Paris. The slim, snappily dressed volume, in our time, bore the name of Ernest Hemingway, and it provided the final installment of “An Inquest into the State of Contemporary English Prose”, a series devised by the bookshop’s resident handyman, Ezra Pound.1 Part of Pound’s sojourn in the 6th arrondissement was spent assembling furniture, as well as construct- ing literary careers, though it is hard to say exactly what hand il miglior fab- A shorter version of this article appeared in The Cambridge Quarterly 42.2 (2013). I am grateful to the following people for various kinds of guidance and support as I set about developing that earlier material: Kasia Boddy, Mark Cirino, Kirk Curnutt, and Sandra Spanier.

    UNIVERSITY OF HAWNI LIBRARY A SEA CHANGE: THE GULF STREAM AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF ERNEST HEMINGWAY'S STYLE: 1932-1952 A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI'I IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN AMERICAN STUDIES DECEMBER 2002 By MarkP. Ott Dissertation Committee: David Stannard, Chairperson Floyd Matson Katharine Tehranian Joseph Stanton Laura Lyons ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS At the conclusion ofthis dissertation, I am conscious ofmany debts. I would like to thank my dissertation committee for their insightful comments, feedback, and support: Professors David Stannard, Floyd Matson, Katherine Tehranian, Joseph Stanton and Laura Lyons. David Stannard served as chair ofmy committee, and it was through his patient, thoughtful and intelligent stewardship that this project was completed. My debt to him is enormous. Floyd Matson, through his gift for synthesis, provided excellent commentary. He also generously shared his time with me, and my conversation with him about his meeting with Hemingway in 1941 planted the seed for much ofthis dissertation. It was in Joseph Stanton's seminar "The Sea in Art and Literature" that I first began examining Heminl,'Way' s response to the GulfStream. His gentle editing, and encouraging comments were essential through each stage ofthe development ofthis dissertation. Katherine Tehranian instructed me as to the role ofpost-structuralist theory within American Studies. Laura Lyons provided detailed commentary, especially with regard to theoretical concerns. I am also grateful for the good humor and hard work of the American Studies support staff, Sandy Enoki and Gerry Uyeunten, as they helped me complete this dissertation from the distant state ofMinnesota.
