- Current Bibliography
[The current bibliography aspires to include all serious contributions to Hemingway scholarship. Given the substantial quantity of significant critical work appearing on Hemingway's life and writings annually, inconsequential items from the popular press have been omitted to facilitate the distinction of important developments and trends in the field. Annotations for articles appearing in The Hemingway Review have been omitted due to the immediate availability of abstracts introducing each issue. Kelli Larson welcomes your assistance in keeping this feature current. Please send reprints, clippings, and photocopies of articles, as well as notices of new books, directly to Larson at the University of St. Thomas, 333 JRC, 2115 Summit Avenue, St. Paul, MN 55105-1096.

Examines similarities in subject matter, arguing that the "back to nature" philosophy of both texts appealed to a modern generation overwhelmed by advancements in technology. Simplistic escape from civilization via the sea provides the heroes with a comforting sense of self-reliance and solitude. And yet their detailed environmental observations reveal not only their intimacy with the natural world but also their deep understanding of how that natural world might serve to measure man's progress away from nature's violence.]
[Surveys the history of Cézanne criticism, discussing the artist's influence through light, color, and form on EH's landscapes. Draws examples from the Irati River passage of SAR and the description of nature in "Big Two-Hearted River."]

[After defining the dualist and transitional nature of liminality, Bredendick applies those perimeters to DIA, a work that juxtaposes bullfighting with the fine [End Page 161] arts.

Focuses on the work's paratexts (elements outside of the main text, e.g. title, frontispiece, dust jacket), the narrator's conversations with the Old Lady, Belmonte's art of toreo, Faulkner's writing, and El Greco's painting.
