Ernest Hemingway and His Influence Spring 2012 Ernest Hemingway and his Influence Spring 2012 All good books are alike in that they are truer than if they had really happened and after you are finished reading one you will feel that all that happened to you and afterwards it all belongs to you; the good and the bad, the ecstasy, the remorse, and sorrow, the people and the places and how the weather was.-- "Old Newsman Writes: A Letter from Cuba," in Esquire (New York, Dec. 1934); reprinted in By-Line Ernest Hemingway, edited by William White, 1967). The great thing is to last and get your work done and see and hear and learn and understand; and write when there is something that you know; and not before; and not too damned much after.--Death in the Afternoon 050.487.01 and 350.437.04 Th 9:15 - 12:15 RAB 018 Professor Louise Barnett Office 205C Office Hours: by appointment e-mail: [email protected] Course Description Ernest Hemingway was the most influential twentieth‐ century writer. His style and values had a powerful effect on most American male writers of succeeding generations, and on writers in other languages as well. In this seminar we will read the best of Hemingway and some writers who have carried his legacy into later periods. The Bogart hero in film is an incarnation of the Hemingway hero, and the “hard‐ boiled” detective figure, like almost any detective you can name, is still another. (My favorite at the moment is Jack Reacher.) Course Objectives To understand Hemingway and his works is to understand an important aspect of twentieth century American culture. This is the seminar's overall goal. Specifically, our objectives will be the following: 1. To study--carefully and thoroughly--the major texts of this significant writer and to explore his legacy. 2. To improve writing skills in critical papers and a substantial research paper project. 3. To discuss texts orally with increasing fluency. Course Texts All of the texts are paperbacks; they have been ordered by the Cook-Douglass Bookstore and by New Jersey Books. All are by Hemingway. 1 A Farewell to Arms, ISBN 0684801469 The Sun Also Rises, 0743297334 For Whom The Bell Tolls, 0684803356 The Garden of Eden 0684804522 The Snows of Kilimanjaro 0684804441 Other readings will be posted on the sakai site. Requirements Strong attendance and class participation are essential to the seminar format, and there will be informal in-class oral reports as well as short papers and a culminating 15 page research paper. Papers will be submitted on sakai through turnitin as well as hard copy. Texts under discussion must always be brought to class. Cell phones must be turned off in class. Students are expected to adhere to the Academic Integrity policy of Rutgers University at all times. Please familiarize yourself with http://academicintegrity.rutgers.edu/integrity.shtml Work must be handed in on time or an extension agreed to by the instructor. ** Prolonged absence will make it impossible to receive credit for the course. And in a senior seminar meeting only once a week and presumed to be the capstone of the major, this means more than two absences; two absences may affect your grade.

  • "The Itinerant American Traveller": Settings And
    “THE ITINERANT AMERICAN TRAVELLER” : SETTINGS AND LOCALES IN ERNEST HEMINGWAY’S FICTION - Somdatta Mandal Ernest Hemingway is arguably the most popular American novelist of this century. Few writers have lived as colourfully as him, and his career could have come out of one of his adventure novels. Like F. Scott Fitzgerald, Theodore Dreiser, and many other fine novelists of the twentieth century, Hemingway came from the U.S. Midwest. Born on the 21st of July 1899, in Oak Park, Illinois, Hemingway spent his childhood vacations in Michigan on hunting and fishing trips. He volunteered for an ambulance unit in France during World War I, was wounded and hospitalized for six months. After the war, as a war correspondent, he became part of the expatriate community in Paris, wrote of bullfighting in Spain, war on the Italian front, the Spanish Civil War, game hunting in Africa, rarely setting his key novels in the continental United States. Explaining his global aims, Hemingway wrote in 1933 to his mother-in-law, Mrs. Pfeiffer: “I am trying to make, before I get through, a picture of the whole world - or as much of it I have seen.” This paper tries to analyse how Hemingway’s fiction is “a picture of the whole world” and pitted against the various episodes of his chequered career, becomes an illuminating study, as the novels and short stories then appear to reflect the life history of their author and consequently reveal the plane of reality that the author desires to represent. Both place and story have to do with where we are, with location, but the where of each is distinct.

West III Edwin Erle Sparks Professor of English Philip Jenkins Edwin Erle Sparks Professor of the Humanities *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT This dissertation explores the presentation of the Spanish Civil War in selected American periodicals. Understanding how war-related works functioned (aesthetically and rhetorically) requires a nuanced view of the circumstances of their production and an awareness of their immediate cultural context. I consider means of creation and publication to examine the complex ways in which the goals of truth-seeking and truth-shaping interacted—and were acted upon by the institutional dynamics of periodical production. By focusing on three specific periodicals that occupied different points along a line leading outward from the mainstream of American culture, I examine the ways in which certain pro- Loyalist writers and editors attempted to shape the truth of the Spanish war for American readers within the contexts and inherent restrictions of periodical publication. I argue that responses to the war in these publications are products of a range of cultural and institutional forces that go beyond the political affiliations or ideological stances of particular writers.

  • Friends, Enemies, Writers: Dos Passos and Hemingway
    Friends, Enemies, Writers: Dos Passos and Hemingway Clara Juncker University of Southern Denmark Abstract: John Dos Passos and Ernest Hemingway both embodied the post-WWI world of loss, disillusion , and modernist experimentation. Critics have mostly dis­ cussed the two prominent members of the Lost Generation in terms of their different 1Vriting techniques and interests, 11ot to me11tion their differelll approaches to politics, life choices, and what Hemingway called "things of the night." Nonetheless, the f\Vo IVriters fwd much in common: their war experiences, their appetites for travel and adventure, and their ambitions as writers. Though the two friends had significantly dijferent personalities and physiques, they used each others as mirrors, in which they scrutinized, admired, or grimaced al their own abilities and.flaws as men and writers. After their famous 1937 break-up in Spain, where they disagreed, quarrelled and ulti­ mately split up over Spa11ish politics, which neither ofth em understood, they saw each other as enemies, or monsters. They both lost something other than the friendship of their youth. Dos Passos lost the innocent exuberance the young American 1Vriters hadfo1111d in Europe. He also lost his 111asrnli11ity, his literary ment01; a11d his global travelling companion. He said farewell to Europe, his radical visions, and his best writing. Hemingway lost empathy and generosity, and his protection against excess and despair. He lost his sparkle. As members ofth e Lost Generation., Dos Passos and Hemingway had both survived their post- WWI existence through writing and comra­ de rie, but now each man f aced the universal catastrophe, and the decades of struggle with words they mastered and demons they did not, alone.

  • Juncker, Clara, "John Dos Passos in Spain,"
    JOHN DOS PASSOS IN SPAIN CLARA JUNCKER University of Southern Denmark [email protected] 91 In 1931, Ernest Hemingway wrote to John Dos Passos from Madrid: “You are the great writer of Spain” (Baker 1968: 342). The two friends both knew Spain, but Dos Passos got there first. After graduating from Harvard, Dos Passos studied Spanish language, literature and culture at the Centro de Estudios Históricos in Madrid in 1916-17, and he returned for almost eight months in 1918-19 (Carr 1984: 101-102). For six weeks he walked with his friend Dudley Moore across the Basque Provinces before returning to Madrid, where he wrote his war novel Three Soldiers (1921). In his first Spanish book, Rosinante to the Road Again (1922), Telemachus and his bawdy companion, Lyaeus, ramble along Spanish roads in search of “the gesture”, the essence of Spanish life that the Dos Passos persona hoped to emulate in words. Spain would remain important to both Dos Passos and Hemingway, from 1924 when they planned a hiking trip from Burguete to Andorra, to other times, as when Hemingway explored Zaragoza during the feria and Our Lady of the Pillar festivities in 1926. He used the railway station there in “Hills Like White Elephants” (1927) and would compare both Africa and Wyoming to Aragón in his works. Angel Capellán writes in Hemingway and the Hispanic World (1985) that “Aragón had become an integral part of his accumulated memories of Spanish landscapes” (33). In 1937, Dos Passos and Hemingway collaborated with Joris Ivens on the documentary The Spanish Earth .

  • Hemingway. Agridulce Strain Translated by Cristina Stolpovschich
    HEMINGWAY. AGRIDULCE STRAIN TRANSLATED BY CRISTINA STOLPOVSCHICH CARLOS HERRERO MARTÍNEZ INSTITUTO FRANKLIN–UAH Few writers have managed to unite in their person adjectives as disparate as egotistical, misogynistic, self-centered, arrogant, but, at the same time, combative, brave, lover of life and great writer. The life of Ernest Hemingway (Oak Park Illinois 1899 – Ketchum Idaho 1961) is full of contradictions that make him unique and that, to this day, continues to be one of the fundamental pillars on which the building of American literature is based. The son of a doctor father and an opera singer mother, he always lived on the edge of what life could give to an individual or, at least, that was the image he projected because, in the case of Hemingway, myth and man are difficult to separate. Journalist, he practiced soccer, hunting, boxing and deep-sea fishing. He was the first American wounded in combat on the Italian front during the First World War. He traveled all over the world, lived in Paris during the 1920s, visited Spain at that time, and later wrote for the NANA (North American Newspaper Alliance) the chronicles of the Spanish Civil War. He made safaris in Africa where he had two near-fatal plane crashes. He covered the D-Day, the Battle of the Bulge, and was twice decorated for military valor. He had four marriages and multiple lovers. He was a bad father of three children from two of his marriages. When he found himself as a shadow of what he was, he decided to commit suicide.

RESUMEN: En 1937, el documental Tierra de España trató de dar a conocer la Guerra Civil Española al público internacional. Este ensayo analiza la representación de España que Joris Ivens (director) y Ernest Hemingway (guionista) proyectan con el fin de obtener apoyo político y económico para la causa republicana. Como trataré de demostrar en este artículo, su intento de creación de una cierta empatía transatlántica entre el público estadounidense y el pueblo español estaba basado en la perpetuación de la imagen de una España romántica que termina por erradicar la complejidad cultural peninsular. KEYWORDS: Spanish Civil War, The Spanish Earth, Ernest Hemingway, Joris Ivens, El Mono Azul, Alianza de Intelectuales Antifascistas, Propaganda, Film. ABSTRACT: In 1937, the film The Spanish Earth documented the Spanish Civil War for international audiences. This essay analyzes the ways in which Joris Ivens (director) and Ernest Hemingway (screenwriter) portrayed the Spanish conflict in order to obtain political and economic support for the Spanish Republican cause. As I try to prove in this paper, their attempt to create a certain transatlantic empathy between American audiences and the Spanish people relied on the perpetuation of a romanticized image of Spain that erases the cultural complexity of Spain.
