    Born in 1899 in Oak Park, Illinois He was the second of six kids Hemingway's mother, a music teacher and director of the church choir, spent her time with the kids educating them on music, art, concerts, and operas His father, a physician, taught them of the joy of being in nature, Hemingway took this knowledge and love of nature everywhere he went. After high school, he worked as a writer for the Kansas City Star for six months Hemingway wished to sigh up for the war, but due to a glass eye was denied After witnessing a man stranded at the union station, left to die because of small pox and nearby peoples fear to approach him, Hemingway took up the path of an ambulance driver. Lived the life of a celebrity Minimalist Hemingway employed a distinctive style which drew comment from many critics At the beginning of his career Hemingway did not give way to lengthy geographical and psychological description. Though later he used he vividly described nature. His style had been said to lack substance because he avoids direct statements and descriptions of emotion. Later he began to write more deeply into emotions, mostly discussing death and providing a detailed picture in the readers mind Style seen as direct and simple He used his senses as the center for his writing Believed the mind was “treacherous and abstract” Wrote in an unconventional style, with the problems of war, violence and death as their themes, presenting a symbolic interpretation of life. While working in Michigan, Hemingway met Elizabeth Hadley Richardson, an inexperienced and naïve girl, educated at an all girls school.

Ernest Miller Hemingway was born on July 21, 1899 in Oak Park, Illinois to Dr. Clarence Edmonds Hemingway and Grace Hall Hemingway. The second of six children, Ernest enjoyed an adventurous boyhood, fishing and hunting with his father in the northern woods of Michigan. He attended Oak Park High School where he excelled in his classes, particularly English. He tried his hand at football and swimming, edited the school paper (the Trapeze), and contributed pieces to the school's literary magazine (the Tabula). After graduating high school, Ernest traveled to Kansas City and worked as a cub reporter for The Kansas City Star. In 1918, he began service as an ambulance driver for the Italian army. On July 8, he was wounded at Fossalta on the Italian Piave while delivering chocolates, cigarettes, and postcards to soldiers. He married Elizabeth Hadley Richardson on September 3, 1921. The newlyweds soon entered the literary community of Paris, living off of Hadley's trust fund and Ernest's pay as a foreign correspondent for the Toronto Star.

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.

  • Miriam B. Mandel, Ed., Hemingway and Africa
    cial significance about this volume is that some contributors try to attune Crawford criti- cism to the current tendencies in literary studies. The essays that read his novels through the lens of gender studies or in the light of the politics of canon formation can help at- tract the attention of critics who work on related subjects, but so far have overlooked Crawford. Three outstanding contributions to the volume²admittedly the essays by Ambrosini, Isoldo and Pease²establish the standards of contemporary Crawford schol- arship.

Mandel, ed., Hemingway and Africa. New York: Camden House, 2011. xxvii + 398 pages. Among the manifold fields of scholarship that link Hemingway's restless life with his literary output are his numerous travels to and sojourns in various parts of the world which sparked his creative talent, notably Italy, France, Spain, the Gulf Stream, and East African regions. Whereas the presence of the European countries in his novels, short stories and nonfiction has been subjected to multifaceted studies, Africa, Cuba and the Gulf Stream have generated scant scholarship. Mark Ott presented the pivotal signifi- cance of the latter two areas in Hemingway's life and writing in A Sea of Change: Ernest Hemingway and the Gulf Stream (2008). In her "Introduction" to Hemingway and Africa, Miriam B. Mandel notes that "Africa is still an understudied area in Hemingway" (31); however, she unduly states: "This book is only a beginning" (32).

  • Hemingway's Mixed Drinks: an Examination of the Varied Representation of Alcohol Across the Author's Canon
    OLIPHANT, ASHLEY YARBROUGH, Ph.D. Hemingway’s Mixed Drinks: An Examination of the Varied Representation of Alcohol Across the Author’s Canon. (2007) Directed by Dr. Scott Romine. 214 pp. The purpose of this research was to determine how alcohol functions in four main texts: The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms, The Old Man and the Sea and In Our Time. Because of Ernest Hemingway’s self-perpetuated image as a literary celebrity, scholars have historically used his public persona (and their diagnoses of his perceived alcoholism and other medical conditions) to speculate about its impact on his work. This study establishes the importance of first addressing the textual evidence relating to Hemingway’s crafting of symbols, characters and plots before the biography of the author enters the critical conversation. The project defines and examines important terms relevant to Hemingway’s representation of alcohol, including “saturated” and “dry” fiction, “situational dryness,” “communal consumption” and “restorative drinking.” When applicable, Hemingway’s characters are viewed within the context of their Lost Generation existence to challenge the critical notion that the post-war experience for the author’s characters (particularly those who consume alcohol) is static from text to text. Hemingway’s drinkers are explored instead as individuals with varied impetuses for imbibing (whether in moderation or in excess), and his non- drinkers and occasional consumers are examined at length to provide a complete picture of the role of consumption across the four works. The data taken from these considerations leads to the conclusion that contrary to the critical consensus, Hemingway’s depiction of alcohol sometimes reverses the dichotomous relationships it has long been believed to support.

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.
