Book Synopsis Hemingway, Trauma and Masculinity by : Stephen Gilbert Brown
Download or read book Hemingway, Trauma and Masculinity written by Stephen Gilbert Brown and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-06-24 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hemingway, Trauma and Masculinity: In the Garden of the Uncanny is at once a model of literary interpretation and a psycho-critical reading of Hemingway’s life and art. This book is a provocative and theoretically sophisticated inquiry into the traumatic origins of the creative impulse and the dynamics of identity formation in Hemingway. Building on a body of wound-theory scholarship, the book seeks to reconcile the tensions between opposing Hemingway camps, while moving beyond these rivalries into a broader analysis of the relationship between trauma, identity formation and art in Hemingway.
Book Synopsis "It was the Bruise of the War" by : Thomas Hays Bevilacqua

Book excerpt: Ernest Hemingway and D.H. Lawrence were two authors best known, perhaps even infamous, for their portrayals of gender and particularly masculinity, which has led to the levying of criticisms and challenges by countless feminist critics. But rather than each author writing and reflecting a universal construction of masculinity, what emerges by considering the seminal post-World War I texts of these two authors is that they both possessed unique and nuanced constructions of masculinity that would often emerge in the wake of a physical injury or a psychological trauma. For Lawrence, masculinity was attained when a man embraced his impulse or inner essence, what scholar Peter Balbert outlines as the "phallic imagination," while turning away from the control and mastery of the will. This choice that Lawrence's men would make was often prompted by a physical or psychological wounding. By contrast, a physical injury or psychological trauma initiated Hemingway's men and forced them to learn the importance of maintaining control and mastery, as living up to this "code" of self-control was the only way the Hemingway male could overcome their injury and survive. Lawrence's construction of masculinity stressed impulse and emotion and the rejection of the will's control, while for Hemingway masculinity was exerted when the man exhibited control over his impulses. By understanding the unique nature of each author's construction of masculinity, we can in turn better understand their views and characterization of World War I, as well as realizing the nuanced nature of masculinity and how its further consideration could enrich future readings of the works of these two authors.
Book Synopsis The New Hemingway Studies by : Suzanne del Gizzo
Download or read book The New Hemingway Studies written by Suzanne del Gizzo and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-09-17 with total page 531 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The subject of endless biographies, fictional depictions, and critical debate, Ernest Hemingway continues to command attention in popular culture and in literary studies. He remains both a definitive stylist of twentieth-century literature and a case study in what happens to an artist consumed by the spectacle of celebrity. The New Hemingway Studies examines how two decades of new-millennium scholarship confirm his continued relevance to an era that, on the surface, appears so distinct from his—one defined by digital realms, ecological anxiety, and globalization. It explores the various sources (print, archival, digital, and other) through which critics access Hemingway. Highlighting the latest critical trends, the contributors to this volume demonstrate how Hemingway's remarkably durable stories, novels, and essays have served as a lens for understanding preeminent concerns in our own time, including paranoia, trauma, iconicity, and racial, sexual, and national identities.

Book Synopsis Catharsis Through Writing by : Erica Leigh Davis
Download or read book Catharsis Through Writing written by Erica Leigh Davis and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across the River and into the Trees was Ernest Hemingway's least popular and most unrecognized novel. While it has been discounted for years as an example of the ''writer in decline" due to its poor artistic quality and heavy autobiographical connections, I argue that it is the autobiographical roots of the novel that make it worth further literary and historical consideration. Ernest Hemingway never claimed that the book was written as an autobiography, however after close examination of the protagonist and the context alongside his own personal life events in his later years, it is clear that the Colonel in Across the River is a nearly exact copy of the author himself. Hemingway's motivations for writing his autobiography will become clear after analyzing the years and events in his personal life that led up to its creation. He was highly motivated by trauma and health issues that prompted a retrospection of his life and a need to document his memories, specifically of war. The writing of Across the River and into the Trees took on a cathartic purpose for Hemingway and can be seen in hindsight as an honest look at Hemingway's raw emotions and opinions not only about himself, but of the world around him, giving readers knowledge and understanding of him that is not revealed in pervious works.

Book Synopsis The Routledge Companion to Masculinity in American Literature and Culture by : Lydia R. Cooper
Download or read book The Routledge Companion to Masculinity in American Literature and Culture written by Lydia R. Cooper and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-12-26 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recently, the U.S. has seen a rise in misogynistic and race-based violence perpetrated by men expressing a sense of grievance, from "incels" to alt-right activists. Grounding sociological, historical, political, and economic analyses of masculinity through the lens of cultural narratives in many forms and expressions, The Routledge Companion to Masculinity in American Literature and Culture suggests that how we examine the stories that shape us in turn shapes our understanding of our current reality and gives us language for imagining better futures. Masculinity is more than a description of traits associated with particular performances of gender. It is more than a study of gender and social power. It is an examination of the ways in which gender affects our capacity to engage ethically with each other in complex human societies. This volume offers essays from a range of established, global experts in American masculinity as well as new and upcoming scholars in order to explore not just what masculinity once meant, has come to mean, and may mean in the future in the U.S.; it also articulates what is at stake with our conceptions of masculinity.
Book Synopsis The Critics and Hemingway, 1924-2014 by : Laurence W. Mazzeno
Download or read book The Critics and Hemingway, 1924-2014 written by Laurence W. Mazzeno and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2015 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traces Hemingway's critical fortunes over the ninety years of his prominence, telling us something about what we value in literature and why scholarly reputations rise and fall. Hemingway burst on the literary scene in the 1920s with spare, penetrating short stories and brilliant novels. Soon he was held as a standard for modern writers. Meanwhile, he used his celebrity to create a persona like the stoic, macho heroes of his fiction. After a decline during the 1930s and 1940s, he came roaring back with The Old Man and the Sea in 1952. Two years later he received the Nobel Prize. While his popularity waxed and waned during his lifetime, Hemingway's reputation among scholars remained strong as long as traditional scholarship dominated. New approaches beginning in the 1960s brought a sea change, however, finding grave fault with his work and making him a figure ripe for vilification. Yet during this time scholarship on him continued to appear. His works still sell well, and several are staples on high-school and college syllabi. A new scholarly edition of his letters is drawing prominent attention, and there is a resurgence in scholarly attention to - and approbation for - his work. Tracing Hemingway's critical fortunes tells us something about what we value in literature and why reputations rise and fall as scholars find new ways to examine and interpret creative work. Laurence W. Mazzeno is President Emeritus of Alvernia University. Among other books, he has written volumes on Austen, Dickens, Tennyson, Updike, and Matthew Arnold for Camden House's Literary Criticism in Perspective series.

Book Synopsis Gender, Race, and Mourning in American Modernism by : Greg Forter
Download or read book Gender, Race, and Mourning in American Modernism written by Greg Forter and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-04-14 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American modernist writers' engagement with changing ideas of gender and race often took the form of a struggle against increasingly inflexible categories. Greg Forter interprets modernism as an effort to mourn a form of white manhood that fused the 'masculine' with the 'feminine'. He argues that modernists were engaged in a poignant yet deeply conflicted effort to hold on to socially 'feminine' and racially marked aspects of identity, qualities that the new social order encouraged them to disparage. Examining works by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner and Willa Cather, Forter shows how these writers shared an ambivalence toward the feminine and an unease over existing racial categories that made it difficult for them to work through the loss of the masculinity they mourned. Gender, Race, and Mourning in American Modernism offers a bold reading of canonical modernism in the United States.
Book Synopsis Vonnegut & Hemingway by : Lawrence R. Broer
Download or read book Vonnegut & Hemingway written by Lawrence R. Broer and published by Univ of South Carolina Press. This book was released on 2012-07-23 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study of surprising similarities in their lives and works “adds an important element to the existing discussion” of two twentieth-century literary icons (Studies in American Humor). In this original comparative study of Kurt Vonnegut and Ernest Hemingway, Lawrence R. Broer maps the striking intersections of biography and artistry in works by both writers, and compares the ways they blend life and art. Broer views Hemingway as the “secret sharer” of Vonnegut’s literary imagination and argues that the two writers—traditionally considered as adversaries because of Vonnegut’s rejection of Hemingway’s emblematic hypermasculinism—inevitably address similar deterministic wounds in their fiction: childhood traumas, family insanity, deforming wartime experiences, and depression. Rooting his discussion in these psychological commonalities, Broer traces their personal and artistic paths by pairing sets of works and protagonists in ways that show the two writers not only addressing similar concerns, but developing a response that in the end establishes an underlying kinship when it comes to the fate of the American hero of the twentieth century. Hemingway provided frequent fodder for Vonnegut, inspiring a cadre of characters who celebrate war and death. In his sardonic response to this vision of a Hemingwayesque world, Vonnegut espoused kindness and restraint as moral imperatives against the more violent yearnings of human nature, which Hemingway in turn embraced as stoic, virile, and heroic. Though their paths were radically different, Broer finds in both an overarching obsession with the scars of war as chief adversary in a personal quest for understanding and wholeness. He locates in each writer’s canon moments of spiritual awaking leading to literary evolution—if not outright reinvention. In their later works Broer detects an increasing recognition of redemptive feminine aspects in themselves and their protagonists, pulling against the destructively tragic fatalism that otherwise dominates their worldviews. Broer sees Vonnegut and Hemingway as fundamentally at war—with themselves, with one another’s artistic visions, and with the idea of war itself. Against this onslaught, he asserts, they wrote as a mode of therapy and achieved literary greatness through combative opposition to the shadows that loomed so large around them.
