One of a series of works aimed at presenting contemporary critical opinion on major authors, this collection includes essays by Lillian Ross, Malcolm Crowley, E.M. Halliday, Harry Levin, Leslie Fiedler, D.H. Lawrence, Philip Young, Sean O'Faolain, Cleanth Brooks and Robert Penn Warren, Carlos Baker, Mark Spilka, Ray B. West, Jr., Nemi D'Agostino, Joseph Waldmeir, Leon Edel, and Philip Young--all dealing with the biography and literary work of Ernest Hemingway. Designed for use by both literary critics and secondary and college teachers of English, this work would also be of value to undergraduate and graduate students of literature. Topics covered include Hemingway's ambiguity; his style; an analysis of "The Killers"; the death of love in "The Sun Also Rises"; the later Hemingway; and Hemingway's religion of man. A chronology of important dates in Hemingway's life, a brief set of biographical notes on the contributors to this collection, and a ten-item bibliography of books, articles, and essays on Hemingway complete this volume.
