Table of Contents Biographical Note Scope and Contents Note Arrangement Series Contents List Biographical Note Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961) was an American journalist, novelist, and short story writer. After work as a journalist in the United States and service as an ambulance driver in Italy during the First World War, Hemingway settled in Paris in the 1920s and he became associated with a group of expatriate American writers including Ezra Pound and Gertrude Stein. He attracted attention as a fiction writer with publication of two volumes of short stories, In Our Time (1925) and The Torrents of Spring (1926). By the late 1930s, his reputation was well established by the success of his novels The Sun Also Rises (1926) and A Farewell to Arms (1929), and his non-fiction works Death in the Afternoon (1932) and Green Hills of Africa (1935). He returned to Spain in 1937 as a reporter and became deeply involved in the pro-loyalist cause. During the next few years a new concern with social problems was reflected in his work, which included the Depression-era novel To Have and Have Not (1937); a play, The Fifth Column (1938); and the novel For Whom the Bell Tolls (1940). Hemingway=s productivity declined during the 1940s, but his career revived dramatically in the 1950s with the publication of The Old Man and the Sea (1952). He was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1954. Scope and Content Note The Ernest Hemingway Collection consists of selected periodicals containing contributions by Ernest Hemingway or mention of Hemingway or his work; lobby cards, film posters, and other theatrical and film ephemera relating to the stage or screen versions of Hemingway=s work; and other miscellaneous or ephemeral Hemingway materials relating to Hemingway. Periodic additions to the collection are planned. This collection complements other Hemingway manuscripts and collections in Special Collections at the University of Delaware Library, including the Louis Henry and Marguerite Cohn Hemingway Collection (MS 100), the Ernest Hemingway Manuscripts (MS 268), and the books in the Louis Henry and Marguerite Cohn Hemingway Collection, which are cataloged for the Special Collections printed material collections. Arrangement The collection is divided into series by type of material. The periodical series is in chronological order and titles are identified with citations from Audre Hanneman’s Comprehensive Bibliography (1967) and her 1975 Supplement, i.e. C-number or S-C-number. Posters have been removed to oversize flat storage and varied box sizes are required to store items from the collection, so it is necessary to note location information when requesting material for use.
