Eliot and Ernest Hemingway in relation to their focus on how to make sense of the world of experience in the early twentieth century, and the complex mediations in which feeling and consciousness are involved. Chapter One considers Eliot’s and Hemingway’s common concern in their early works with the experience and representation of a fragmented self, and the extent to which this feature led them to involve their characters in a flow of sensations that liberates consciousness from the chains of rational constructs. Chapter Two examines Eliot’s and Hemingway’s later ambivalent consideration of this glorification of the sensual beyond any intellectual categorization of reality. The chapter shows how their shared mistrust of this primitive state of mind guided them to pay attention to collective modes of experience intrinsic to ritual patterns. The focus of Chapter Three is on Eliot’s The Waste Land (1922) and Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises (1926). This chapter analyzes the rituals to which they paid attention and how these shaped their distinctive consideration of a common unifying sense of feeling to revitalize society. Chapter Four investigates Eliot’s interest in religious feeling and Hemingway’s concern with moral feeling as modes of reinforcing the interrelation between the individual and society. The aim in the final chapter is to consider Eliot’s Four Quartets (1943) and Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea (1952) within the framework of the American Jeremiad to analyze the outcomes of the final quest of these two authors to 1 attain a unity of experience that moves beyond the frontier of the contradictions of the material world. Critics have commented on the relationship between Eliot and Hemingway in different terms. My overall argument, however, is that the similarities and differences between these two authors result from Eliot and Hemingway occupying two poles of a dissociated experience of reality, and that they attempted in comparable yet contrasting ways to transcend the disorder of experience. This analysis is situated within the intellectual context of the turn of the twentieth century and the emphasis on a philosophy that defends an original flux of sensations as opposed to a rational formulation of reality. This contextualization establishes the consonance between the philosophies of Bergson, James and Bradley, and the concern with consciousness and experience deployed by Eliot and Hemingway in their early works. By analyzing this within their texts, the thesis provides a framework for an understanding of the progression Eliot and Hemingway engaged with from a reflection on individual consciousness and experience to a later consideration of collective experiences and culture. This second discussion focuses on the confluence between Eliot’s and Hemingway’s later works and the theories of early twentieth century social scientists such as Lévy-Bruhl, Frazer and Freud. 2 Acknowledgements This dissertation would not have been possible without the help and support I have received from a number of people and I would like to gratefully acknowledge them. I would like to express my gratitude to my teachers at Eastern Michigan University who first awoke my enthusiasm for American Literature: Professor David Geherin for his remarkable lectures on Hemingway, Professor Christine Neufeld for all her enlightening lectures and wise advice, and Professor Elisabeth Däumer for being the best role model teacher and for all her insights on the work of T.S Eliot. The research that forms the basis of the work here was carried out while I was a PhD student at the University of the West of England. Dr. Sarah Robertson was one of my supervisors there and I feel lucky that I was able to work with her. Thanks for all her valuable suggestions in the last stage of the dissertation and for her amazing lectures on Tim O’Brian and Paul Auster. Thanks to Dr. Lewis Ward for all his help in the last stage of the dissertation. The examiners of my PhD, Dr. David Greenham and Professor Martin Halliwell offered me a lively discussion and helpful comments. The viva experience was very enjoyable thanks to them. I own an overwhelmed debt of gratitude to my thesis director, Professor Peter Rawling. All his hard work, silent encouragement and wise guidance have been critical all these years. Many thanks for being always there for me from the “I see where we are” stage to the final submission of this dissertation. I feel really lucky to have had the opportunity of working with him. It has been a real pleasure. 3 Finally, there is a number of friends and family that I would like to mention for their understanding, encouragement and support. Thanks to Lisa, Richard, Davide and all my colleagues and students at the Folk House. Thanks to Fross, the third member of our Bristol family. It seems that the three of us are going to make it after all. Thanks to my sister Ana, Esquíroz, Jaime, Marylin, Alistair and María for the beers and the laughs. Thanks to Larrus, Cristina, Ainara and Andrea for being the way they are. However, special thanks must go to my parents. I am enormously grateful for my parents’ understanding, support, and faith in my abilities during all these years. I could never have finished this project without their constant encouragement. Finally, this thesis is dedicated to my wife Teresa (siempre será una hora cojonuda) and Theo (who is in his way). Believe or not, both of your parents have finished their dissertations just on time. 4 Abbreviations Works of T.S. Eliot ASG After Strange Gods: A Primer of Modern Heresy.

  • 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.

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.

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.

  • Front Matter of Each Volume
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-89736-5 — The Letters of Ernest Hemingway Ernest Hemingway , Edited by Sandra Spanier , Miriam B. Mandel Frontmatter More Information THE LETTERS OF ERNEST HEMINGWAY, VOLUME 1: 1907–1922 The delight of these letters and the sheer quantity of useful editorial material ... should entice even the most ardent Papa-reviler to delve into the spontaneous words of a creative genius. Publishers Weekly, starred review The existence of some of these documents (predating Hemingways fame) is close to a miracle, and the Letters is without question a spectacular scholarly achievement. Arthur Phillips, New York Times A work of monumental authority, shrewd and sympathetic, which will be indispensable for anyone delving into Hemingways childhood affections, ado- lescent bravura, and the hope, enthusiasm and disgust of his early manhood. Spectator His letters burst off the page with all his swaggering vigour, brio, brilliance, wit and rage, uncensored and unrestrained. Sarah Churchwell, Guardian [Hemingways] letters were never intended for publication, and they are sur- prising ...Behind the hard-living, hard-loving, tough-guy literary persona we find a loyal son pouring his heart out to his family, an infatuated lover, an adoring husband, and a highly committed friend. Robert McCrum, Guardian Hemingway admirers, scholars, and students will find the book essential. The letters fill in abundant biographical and intellectual details, and readers will revel in the young mans exuberant wordplay, private language, and slang. Booklist Magnificently edited ...[this volume] is a work of true literary scholarship ... what makes this first volume more than a mere collection of juvenilia is that here is all the evidence of the writer – and the man – that he was to become.

  • Ernest Hemingway, the American Red Cross, And
    ERNEST HEMINGWAY, THE AMERICAN RED CROSS, AND THE GREAT WAR by STEVEN J. FLORCZYK (Under the Direction of James Nagel) ABSTRACT Ernest Hemingway’s enlistment with the American Red Cross in 1918 was one of the most formative experiences of his life. This adventure provided the source material for A Farewell to Arms and his other writing about Italy. Although his service has been well documented, previously unexamined materials provide additional information. Among these, the diary of the commanding officer, Captain Robert W. Bates, official reports documenting the ambulance and canteen services, section newspapers published by volunteers, as well as other contemporaneous accounts, taken in conjunction with the established biography, clarify aspects of Hemingway’s involvement that have been unclear in existing scholarship. Moreover, these records show that the author drew on sources in ways that have not yet been fully appreciated. The documents shed light on the writer’s initial naiveté as a volunteer and point to the ways in which he transformed that experience in his fiction according to his sophisticated attitudes in the 1920s. The shift he underwent led him to “tell the truth,” as he later called the “writer’s job,” by using complex literary techniques to portray the wartime adventures of his youth in retrospect. His involvement with the Red Cross led to some of the finest American literature on the Great War.
