BIBLIOGRAPHY

FURTHER READING CRITICAL WORKS

BIOGRAPHY

Baker, Carlos. Ernest Hemingway, a Life Story. New York: Scribner, 1969. The definitive biography, written by a distinguished Hemingway scholar and professor of literature. It presents a balanced view of the man and his work.

Burgess, Anthony. Ernest Hemingway and His World. New York: Scribner, 1978. A sparkling short biography. The author, an English novelist, gives you a refreshingly honest appraisal of Hemingway the man seen against the background of his times. The biographer is obviously not dazzled by any Hemingway mystique, yet is fair in his treatment of the man as a writer.

Callaghan, Morley. That Summer in Paris. New York: Coward-McCann, 1963. Memories of a Canadian writer's friendship with Hemingway during the summer of 1929.

CRITICISM

Baker, Carlos. Ernest Hemingway: Critiques of Four Major Novels. New York: Scribner, 1962. A collection of five critiques of Farewell, the first publication of Hemingway's original ending to the novel, plus a handy guide to research for literary papers.

Baker, Sheridan. Ernest Hemingway. New York: Holt, Rinehart and Winston, 1967.

Bradbury, Malcom. The Modern American Novel. New York: Oxford University Press, 1983.

Fiedler, Leslie A. Love and Death in the American Novel. New York: Stein and Day, 1966. Fairly heavy on writers other than Hemingway, but useful in its insights concerning Hemingway's creation of characters like Catherine Barkley.

Rovit, Earl. Ernest Hemingway. Boston: Twayne, 1963. A well-documented study of the work of Hemingway. Although Farewell is only part of what is covered, it does give a useful discussion of what constitutes the Hemingway hero.

Weeks, Robert, ed. Hemingway: A Collection of Critical Essays. Englewood Cliffs, N.J.: Prentice-Hall, 1962.

Young, Philip. Ernest Hemingway: A Reconsideration. New York: Rinehart, 1952. Offers extensive commentary on Farewell. Clarifies the idea of the "hero" in Hemingway and offers insights into the making and meaning of Hemingway's individual style.

GENERAL

Altenbernd, Lynn, and Leslie L. Lewis. A Handbook for the Study of Fiction. New York: Macmillan, 1966.

Just what its title states. Valuable for background that could be used in writing literary essays about Hemingway or any writer.

Fussell, Paul. The Great War and Modern Memory. New York: Oxford University Press, 1975.

Invaluable for an understanding of the very special effect World War I has had on the making of the modern world.
