Convalescence, Memory, and the Body in Ernest SWIMMING SLOWLY, IN THE SEA, AT SAN SEBASTIAN: CONVALESCENCE, MEMORY, AND THE BODY IN ERNEST HEMINGWAY’S THE SUN ALSO RISES by JEREMY COLLINS (Under the direction of Dr. Carolyn Medine) ABSTRACT “Emotion,” Spinoza writes, “which is suffering, ceases to be suffering once we form a clear picture of it.” The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway is the story of Jake Barnes struggle to form a clear picture of his suffering amongst the Lost Generation of post-World War One Europe. In this thesis, we will take a thorough look at Hemingway’s use of the images of football, youth, and war in relation to the characters of Robert Cohn and Jake Barnes. We will find through looking at the relationship of these characters and these images, where to locate meaning in the novel. The thesis will also use the larger body of Hemingway’s work, fiction and non-fiction, biography, and letters. Through looking closely at the novel and its greater context, we can see how Hemingway offers a protagonist who overcomes both his personal disaster and the crisis of the age: nihilism. INDEX WORDS: Hemingway, Nihilism, The Sun Also Rises, Memory, Sports, Existentialism. SWIMMING SLOWLY, IN THE SEA, AT SAN SEBASTIAN: CONVALESCENCE, MEMORY, AND THE BODY IN ERNEST HEMINGWAY’S THE SUN ALSO RISES by JEREMY COLLINS B.A., The University of Georgia, 2000 A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of The University of Georgia in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF ARTS ATHENS, GEORGIA 2002 2002 Jeremy Collins All Rights Reserved SWIMMING SLOWLY, IN THE SEA, AT SAN SEBASTIAN: CONVALESCENCE, MEMORY, AND THE BODY IN ERNEST HEMINGWAY’S THE SUN ALSO RISES by Jeremy Collins Approved: Major Professor: Carolyn Medine Committee: Hubert McAlexander Carolyn Medine William Power Electronic Version Approved: Gordhan L. Patel Dean of the Graduate School The University of Georgia August 2002 DEDICATION In front of a classroom of about twelve students, in a voice that was neither northern nasal or southern drawl, but somewhere in the middle, somewhere in between, the Virginia coast maybe, chesapeake accents, a mid-Atlantic state, Dr. Steven Harvey read from The Sun Also Rises. I took the trout ashore, washed them in the cold, smoothly heavy water above the dam, and then picked some ferns and packed them all in the bag, three trout on a layer of ferns, then another layer of ferns, then three more trout, and then covered them with ferns. They looked nice in the ferns, and now the bag was bulky, and I put it in the shade of the tree. He spoke with a soft, unhurried intensity. He spoke with reverence. When he was done, the room was slightly altered and charged. The world was somehow more real and Hemingway’s account of a fishing trip was now a part of our own experience. This is what Hemingway intended. This is how Dr. Harvey read. I left his classroom and headed for the library to find this book that sounded like poetry. In gratitude to his passion and commitment to the written word and the ordeal of the soul, this thesis is dedicated to my teacher, Dr. Steven Harvey, who is also unquestionably the most gifted banjo player/English professor at Young Harris College. He demanded, pushed, and prodded, without ever having to demand, push, or prod. Instead, he ceaselessly taught, read, smiled, and questioned. In short, he opened my life to the reflective and transforming power of literature. For this, I owe him immensely. “Teaching,” he once wrote, “is the knife.” The knife—a tool to cut through the iv unessential, a tool to puncture and open, a tool to perform surgery, a tool to carve and fashion out of a block of wood a simple, hard-won, creation. v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank Dr. Hubert McAlexander whose mentoring and friendship has been one of the most valuable and rewarding experiences I have had at the University. Dr. McAlexander has been a part of this project since the thesis began as a five-page paper in the spring of 1998 in his undergraduate class. His expertise in American letters and Modernism as well as his guidance and encouragement has been invaluable for this thesis and beyond. I also want to thank Dr. Theodore Lewis, a first-rate scholar in Hebrew Bible/Old Testament, Semitic Languages, and Ancient Near Eastern Studies, who always went out of his way to take an interest in the lives of students around him outside of his own field. Dr. Lewis might have been in the process of writing an article on Cults of the Dead in Ancient Israel, but was always curious to know what was happening in the world of religion and literature. Dr. Lewis has been an inspiration to many throughout the University and I count myself lucky to have been touched by his example of professionalism, scholarship, and humanity. I would also like to thank Dr. Carolyn Medine for all of her patience, grace, and insight that she has given me over the past two years. Dr. Medine’s talented and careful eye within the field of religion and literature gave much of this project form and shape. A necessary thank you is needed for Dr. William Power for his biting wit, his acumen in the world of Theology, and the patience he has shown in having to read paper after paper on Nietzsche. vi Also I would like to thank, Dr. Thomas Slater for his help in making the experience of graduate school and its day to day activities more pleasurable and adding an international flair to the experience. And a special thanks is due to Dr. Glen Wallis who, in a very brief time, provided an example of a life that is lived out of the material one studies. He encouraged us as graduate students to dig deeper, find more, and then to keep digging. I also want to thank the three class sections and students of Religion 1001 who were receptive, questioning, and insightful on the themes of Hemingway and Religion. How can I not acknowledge meinen Brudern Eric Covington and Sonam Kachru? Both of who...have paid their dues. Finally, I would like to thank my sister Laura Collins, who made my last year here, her first, an even more rewarding, and enriching experience. I wish her all the best.

  • The New Woman in the Sun Also Rises
    www.ccsenet.org/elt English Language Teaching Vol. 3, No. 3; September 2010 The New Woman in The Sun Also Rises Xiaoping Yu College of Foreign Languages, Qingdao University of Science and Technology Qingdao, 266061 Abstract Hemingway is a famous American writer and a spokesman of the Lost Generation. His life attitude of the characters in the novels influenced the whole world. His first masterpiece The Sun Also Rises contributes a lot to the rise of feminism and make the world began to befamiliar with a term: The New Woman through the portrayl of Brett. This paper is aimed to target the source and traits of The New Woman. Keywords: The Lost Generation, The New Woman, Brett 1. General Introduction of Hemingway’s Lifetime and His Works Ernest Hemingway was born in Oak Park, Illinois, in 1899. And he began his writing career in the Kansas City in 1917. He went there and served as an eager and energetic reporter, and was later recruited as an ambulance driver working with the Red Cross and went to Europe. This led to the crucial event of his life. On July 8, 1918 he was severely wounded in the knee in Italy. He recovered in time and remained with the Italian army until the end of the war. His war experience proved so shattering and nightmarish that his life and writings were permanently affected. In a sense, through all his life, he lived under the influence, and continued to write about it in order to relive it and forget about it. Back to the United States, He stayed for a time in North Michigan, reading, writing, and fishing.

  • The Legacy of Romantic Love in the Great Gatsby and the Sun Also Rises
    ANTONIN, CLAUDINE. The Legacy of Romantic Love in The Great Gatsby and The Sun Also Rises. (1970) Directed by: Dr. Robert O. Stephens. pp. 68 The purpose of this paper is to study The Great Gatsby and The Sun Also Rises in the light of Denis de Rougemont's conception of Courtly Love, showing how the two novels manifest the persistency of the Tristan Myth, as well as the process of degradation it has undergone. Both works are closely related, in time, in theme and in narrative technique. Both are a critique of Romanticism and refer constantly to the Courtly tradition. Very few critics, however, have made a connection between them, and no parallel study of the Romantic theme has yet been done. Using a close reading of the texts and available critical commentary, this paper points out the numerous affinities between the Courtly Myth and Hemingway's and Fitzgerald's characters, their relationships and their worlds. Finally I discuss the main reasons for the failure of the Myth in its modern context. The main difference between the pictures of Romanti- cism that we find in Fitzgerald and Hemingway lies in the value which is given to the vision of the idealistic charac- ter. Fitzgerald is sympathetic to his romantic lover, 1 whereas Hemingway shuts all the magic out of the Romantic 1 dream. The similarities in theme and contrast in point of view suggest that The Sun Also Rises has been partly written as an ironical counterpoint to The Great Gatsbv.
