Carlos Baker, from Hemingway: the Writer As Artist
Critical readings: The First Forty-five Stories by Carlos Baker, from Hemingway: The Writer As Artist. I. Under the iceberg ‘THE dignity of movement of an iceberg,’ Hemingway once said, ‘is due to only one- eighth of it being above water’ His short stories are deceptive somewhat in the manner of an iceberg. The visible areas glint with the hard factual lights of the naturalist. The supporting structure, submerged and mostly invisible except to the patient explorer, is built with a different kind of precision — that of the poet- symbolist. Once the reader has become aware of what Hemingway is doing in those parts of his work which lie below the surface, he is likely to find symbols operating everywhere, and in a series of beautiful crystallizations, compact and buoyant enough to carry considerable weight. Hemingway entered serious fiction by way of the short story. It was a natural way to begin. His esthetic aims called for a rigorous self-discipline in the presentation of episodes drawn, though always made over, from life. Because he believed, firmly as his own Abruzzian priest, that ‘you cannot know about it unless you have it,’2 a number of the stories were based on personal experience, though here again invention of a symbolic kind nearly always entered into the act of composition. The early discipline in the short story, and it was rarely anything but the hardest kind of discipline, taught Hemingway his craft. He learned how to get the most from the least, how to prune language and avoid waste motion, how to multiply intensities, and how to tell nothing but the truth in a way that always allowed for telling more than the truth. -
Download the Conference Program
A NOTE FROM THE HOST COMMITTEE For four days in November, Pasadena will serve as MSA’s base of operations. (We understand there’s some minor affair planned for the city on New Year’s Day, but we’re sure it pales in comparison.) Welcome to the joys of Southern California in the fall! None of this would have been possible without the generous help of our local collaborators in and around this lovely city, including the staffs at the Westin Pasadena and the Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens. Our efforts have been guided along the way by the MSA Board. We’re particularly indebted to Treasurer Gayle Rogers, Program Committee Chair Lisi Schoenbach, and MSA President Stephen Ross. The seasoned advice from last year’s organizer, Carrie Preston, helped keep it all in perspective and Alex Christie, web-master extraordinaire, agreed once again to manage the medium for the MSA message (gratis). MSA 18 would never have happened without the help of our fearless assistant, April Anderson, the one who kept us on track so that fun could be had by all. So, here’s to the fun, however you define it, and to making MSA 18 a “conference to remember.” Kevin Dettmar & Eric Bulson, Yr Obt. Servants 1 A Message from the MSA President For this year’s conference we have taken special efforts to introduce streams within the program that are aimed at more fully integrating interdisciplinary approaches, and in line with the conference theme. “Dream Factories” focuses on topics such as surrealism, psychoanalysis, fashion, architecture, cinema and design; “California and the Cultures of Modernism” considers linguistic, cultural, and racial diversity. -
The Theme of Individuation in the Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway
THE THEME OF INDIVIDUATION IN THE SHORT STORIES OF ERNEST HEMINGWAY By JOSEPH MICHAEL DeFALCO A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE COUNCIL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA June, 1961 UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 3 1262 08666 374 6 TO MT WIFE PREFACE The existence of architectonic forms in literary creations presupposes a base point from which the artist proceeds in order to actuate his aesthetic formulations. This point would presumably lie in the realm of the conceptual and would correspond to some degree with the artist's intent. Hemingway's entire literary edifice rests on his openly avowed desire to translate factual data into fictive configura- tions which in turn re-create the essence of true-life experience. In effect he set for himself the task of capturing reality in a repre- sentative art form. The establishment of a referent implies much more than mere intent on the artist's part, for if he has fully committed himself to the inherent possibilities of his choice then he has at the same time selected the governing agency of his artistic productions. The problem then would remain of selecting the most suitable means by which the ends of this agency would best be served. In his short stories Hemingway structures the content upon the theme of individuation. His central characters constantly face contin- gent forces in life. Their attempts to reconcile the irrationality of these intrusions form the underlying motivation for action. Reconciling the seemingly irreconcilable demands feats of heroic magnitude at the individual level. -

HEMINGWAY's SHORT WORKS and LONG-STANDING INFLUENCE on LITERATURE: MEN WITHOUT WOMEN by Katelyn Wilder Senior Honors Thesis
HEMINGWAY’S SHORT WORKS AND LONG-STANDING INFLUENCE ON LITERATURE: MEN WITHOUT WOMEN by Katelyn Wilder Senior Honors Thesis Appalachian State University Submitted to the Department of English in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts May, 2020 Approved by: __________________________________________________________________ Carl Eby, Thesis Director __________________________________________________________________ William Atkinson, Reader __________________________________________________________________ Michael Wilson, Reader __________________________________________________________________ Jennifer Wilson, Departmental Honors Director Wilder 1 INTRODUCTION Ernest Hemingway is among the most influential American writers of the 20th century, if not the most considering his title of the literary “voice of the Lost Generation” (Muller 8). However, today his innovations often go overlooked by critics and students of literature. It is hard to see an artist with fresh eyes through traditions and techniques they -- not necessarily created-- but popularized. Therefore, this thesis will seek to analyze one of Hemingway’s most successful and neglected short story collections, Men Without Women. Many of Hemingway’s craft and style techniques in Men Without Women have become norms of American fiction, so much that readers unfamiliar with the traditions that came before Hemingway may no longer even recognize them as techniques. In Men Without Women, each work focuses on at least one specific crafting element: these elements overall serve as a throughline of two strands (or theses) throughout the collection, and these strands seem to parallel throughout the work, until the final piece where they collide and reveal a deeper new approach to not only writing and craft, but the idea of a collection itself. Therefore, a major theme of the collection is poioumenon. -
Ernest Hemingway's Narrative Progression in Across the River And
Testimony of Trauma: Ernest Hemingway’s Narrative Progression in Across the River and into the Trees by Kathleen K. Robinson A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of English College of Arts and Sciences University of South Florida Major Professor: Philip Sipiora, Ph.D Michael Clune, Ph.D. Elizabeth Metzger, Ph.D. James Meredith, Ph.D. Victor Peppard, Ph.D. Date of Approval: March 19, 2010 Keywords: Point of view, subjectivity, objectivity, abject, and fictional structures © Copyright 2010, Kathleen K. Robinson Dedication To my family-From the awkward time when books represented my whole world, my parents-Robert C. Robinson and Patricia K. Mader—have always supported my quest for knowledge. Never telling me that I could not do anything and never setting any bar on my desires, my parents assisted in creating my passion for success and my desire to share that knowledge with others. To them I offer the most profound expression of gratitude. John Mader, my stepfather, whose questions and attention to my writing has endeavored my abilities, I express my gratitude. My husband, Brian Frederick Bushnell Malone, who listened to me prattle, who read the numerous drafts of this work, and who held my hand and my heart while I completed the work—may you always know that this work is as much a consequence of our union as it is of my mind. Without his support and compassion, these ideas would not be here. The work is dedicated to my grandparents, Charles Louis Robinson and Audrey Ayres Robinson. -
Three Paths to Religious Integration in Ernest Hemingway's
THREE PATHS TO RELIGIOUS INTEGRATION IN ERNEST HEMINGWAY’S WAR FICTION A DISSERTATION IN English and Humanities Consortium Presented to the Faculty of the University of Missouri-Kansas City in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by TIMOTHY JAMES PINGELTON B.A., University of Missouri-Kansas City, 1994 M.F.A., San Diego State University, 1997 Kansas City, Missouri 2018 © 2018 TIMOTHY JAMES PINGELTON ALL RIGHTS RESERVED THREE PATHS TO RELIGIOUS INTEGRATION IN ERNEST HEMINGWAY’S WAR FICTION Timothy James Pingelton, Doctor of Philosophy Degree University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2018 ABSTRACT My dissertation studies religiosity in Ernest Hemingway’s war fiction in terms of how his soldier characters connect to the divine. The means to understanding this connection is in refining how the characters express the utility of this connection and how these features fit into larger structural ideals. I argue that the wartime characters integrate with the divine through various methods: by contact with nature, by enacting a ritual, or by embodying Christian manliness. I base my dissertation on relevant phenomenological theories but also considers broader structural-functional theories, and I form the approach on structuralism in that I look at both single works and at the war fiction as a whole as well as looking for connections between literature and culture. Furthermore, I look to the theories of Northrop Frye in analyzing this literature because Frye’s structuralism allows for genre-bending oeuvres such as Hemingway’s. I argue that, contrary to much literary criticism, the Hemingway wartime protagonists are theists who seek the divine in times ii of conflict, but, unlike the notion of “no atheists in the foxholes,” these characters harbor their religiosity not situationally but throughout their lives. -

The end result of such a study is not a random list of translational anomalies but rather a better holistic understanding -
