Ernest Hemingway

Considered one of the greatest American novelists of the twentieth century, Ernest Hemingway produced the classic works The Sun Also Rises, For Whom the Bell Tolls, and A Farewell to Arms, earning the Nobel Prize in Literature for his efforts. This new edition also appraises Hemingway's acclaimed short fiction, featuring full-length essays on the writing and evolving critical reputation of this influential American master. The Bloom's Modern Critical Views series presents critical portraits of the writers that are most widely read and studied in high schools and colleges. Each volume opens with an introductory essay by Harold Bloom in which he offers his insights into the author's work and an editor's note that comments on the individual analyses that follow. Also included are bibliographic references, notes on the various contributors, and a useful chronology of the writer's life. Bloom's Modern Critical Views is a critical presentation of those men and women who, from ancient times to the present, have shaped the Western literary tradition. Book jacket.
