From the Hemingway Letters Project

At the invitation of The Hemingway Review editor Suzanne del Gizzo, we are offering here the second in a series of periodic contributions from the Hemingway Letters Project, in which members of the editorial team will share thoughts and experiences concerning particular letters or groups of letters and try to give some sense of the behind-the-scenes work that goes into the making of the Cambridge Edition of The Letters of Ernest Hemingway. This installment concerns the recently published fourth volume.

At the invitation of The Hemingway Review editor Suzanne del Gizzo, we are offering here the second in a series of periodic contributions from the Hemingway Letters Project, in which members of the editorial team will share thoughts and experiences concerning particular letters or groups of letters and try to give some sense of the behind-the-scenes work that goes into the making of the Cambridge Edition of The Letters of Ernest Hemingway. The first installment of this series appeared in the Spring 2016 issue (35.2) and featured reflections from General Editor Sandra Spanier and volume 3 editors Rena Sanderson and Robert Trogdon.

This second installment takes a different approach by focusing on some of the Project's research methods and outcomes with specific examples drawn from volume 4. The volume, published in November 2017, was edited by Sandra Spanier and MiriamB. Mandel, with associate volume editors Rena Sanderson and Albert J. DeFazio III. Scott Donaldson contributed an introduction to the volume. The Project is overseen by a distinguished Editorial Advisory Board headed by Linda Patterson Miller and composed of Donaldson, Jackson R. Bryer, Debra Moddelmog, and James L. W. West III.
