These essays by British and American scholars begin with the introduction insisting that Hemingway's position in American letters is still in question and a later claim that Hemingway's life gets in the way of his art. They include an examination of the unity of In Our Time, the "wholeness" of For Whom the Bells Tolls, and a study of the short stories after In Our Time. The essays suggest that it is time to reread Hemingway and discover whether or not the thrill of reading him for the first time is recoverable. Other topics discussed are: Was Hemingway an intellectual? Was he nihilistic rather than creative in his vision of life? Was Hemingway's emphasis on cojones a measurement of his knowledge of existence? ISBN 0-389-20284-3 : $27.50.
