Current Bibliography Steve Paul and Kelli A. Larson [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.

Visit The Hemingway Bibliography at https://ir.stthomas.edu/hemingway/ BOOKS de Courcy, Anne. Five Love Affairs and a Friendship: The Paris Life of Nancy Cunard, Icon of the Jazz Age. London: Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 2022. [Biography of British writer, heiress, and political activist during the 1920s. Brief references to EH throughout recount familiar elements of his life and writings (e.g., lost Paris manuscripts, initial meeting with Fitzgerald at the Dingo Bar, breakup of first marriage to Hadley).] ESSAYS Allen, Edward. “Introduction: In—On—And: Hemingway, Britain, and the Nature of the Connection.” Symbiosis 26.2 (2022): 125–29. [Opens with a brief overview of previous criticism on EH’s connection to Britain before introducing the special issue’s focus on EH’s “antagonistic affinity” with Britain’s culture and literature.] ———. “Hemingway’s Impressions: Learning to Voice the Classics in the Early Journalism.” Symbiosis 26.2 (2022): 151–71. [Draws on early EH letters and journalism for the Toronto Star to illustrate the apprentice writer’s evolving craft, particularly his ability to discriminate and articulate a range of voices. Allen looks to the influence of EH’s boyhood reading of Kipling’s Stalky & Co. (1899) on his innovative narrative style, including use of dialogue, dialect, and slang. Also explores EH’s playful engagement with Blake’s “The Tyger” (1794) and Coleridge’s “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” (1798) in his satiric abridged classics for the Star. Concludes with a brief summary of EH’s journalism on British Prime Minister David Lloyd George and the problem of capturing the power of the Anglo-Welshman’s voice in “type.”] Barnes, David. “Hemingway’s British Accents.” Symbiosis 26.2 (2022): 173–86. [Explores the distancing effect and performative role of British voices in EH’s 1920s fiction, drawing on key scenes from the vignettes of IOT, TOS, and FTA. Focusing on distinctions between British and American modes of speech, Barnes looks at how EH’s treatment of transnational communication deconstructs and blurs national identities. Ties EH’s linguistic experimentation to American modernism’s wider preoccupation with issues of expatriation and ethnicity.] Bausch, Richard. “Hills Like White Elephants.” Reaching Inside: 50 Acclaimed Authors on 100 Unforgettable Short Stories. Ed. Andre Dubus III. Boston: Godine, 2023. 224–27. [Brief personal essay by an accomplished fiction writer about his early encounter with two seemingly antipodal short stories—“Hills Like White Elephants” and Henry James’s “The Real Thing.” Over time Bausch comes to see the stories not as opposites in a theoretical way but as differing views of the shared subject: love.] Beegel, Susan F. “A Natural History of the Blue Marlin in Ernest Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea.” Animals in the American Classics: How Natural History Inspired Great Fiction. Eds. John Cullen Gruesser and William I. Lutterschmidt. College Station: Texas A&M UP, 2022. 216–39. [Although Beegel begins with the natural history of “one of nature’s most powerful swimming machines,” she also examines the natural history of EH himself. His lifelong study of science extends from his boyhood training in observing nature. It continues through his meticulous accounts of Gulf Stream ichthyology and sport...
