Hemingway And Women Female Critics And The Female Voice

A revolution in Hemingway studies: female scholars reevaluating gender and the female presence in the life and work of one of America's foremost authors. "Comprising 17 essays written expressly for this volume, this excellent book is a fine addition to the body of Hemingway criticism and biography. . . . [S]cholars of impeccable reputation [offer] pieces integral to the puzzle of Hemingway's personal complexity and that of his female mates and characters. . . . Highly recommended."--Choice "The authors focus on women connected to Hemingway in life, specific female characters, and issues of gender and sexual ambiguities and crossings embodied or enacted by male and female characters. Topics range from reading the feminine in nature to expanding the concept of the code hero to include major female characters."--American Literature "Exceptionally thorough . . . this collection is impressive and unflinching in its exploration."--Ruth Prigozy, Hofstra University Contributors: Jamie Barlowe, Susan F.
