Abstract:The historical novelist Lyndsay Faye pilfered Hemingway’s 1918 correspondence for slang usages that would definitively locate the characters in her 2019 book, The Paragon Hotel, in the late nineteen-teens, rather than have the novel’s dialogue bleed into usages more common in the high-Jazz Age. Cross-referencing text from the novel with Hemingway’s 1918 correspondence collected in the Hemingway Letters Project, then comparing the results against entries from the Oxford English Dictionary and the New Partridge Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English, shows the complex relationship between the voices of the Faye’s characters—particularly the novel’s narrator—and the young Ernest Hemingway.

Abstract:This article proposes that readers consider “On the Quai at Smyrna” and “A Natural History of the Dead” as part of the same conceptual project. Both pieces advance a negative critique of humanism that blurs the distinctions between human and animal. Despite religious and pseudo-religious narratives to the contrary, human life is not superior to animal life, Hemingway discovers, for we are all of us violent beasts who eventually end up in the ground. These works reject the idea that we are fundamentally superior to nonhuman entities. Likewise, they reject the idea that human life is sacred.

Abstract:Hemingway’s editorial role in Ford Madox Ford’s second modernist little magazine project, the transatlantic review, is overlooked both in critical scholarship and within the scope of his biography. The editorials he published in the review reveal Hemingway’s assessment of the modernist movement as it developed around him and his devotion to the idea of “pure literature” that stems from authentic inspiration rather than contrived experimentalism. This article offers an analysis of four such editorials and how they, along with his leadership over the July and August issues of the magazine, provide insight into Hemingway’s development as a modernist figure and the brand of modernism he would promote throughout his career.

Abstract:In Our Time can be interpreted as a cohesive work, presented in stories and vignettes, dealing with perpetual exile and the search for America. This exile plays out within stories and vignettes and over the course of the collection. With some feints and complications, the movement of the narrative is from America's past into exile (both internal and abroad), failed homecoming in the middle stories, a resumption of exile abroad, and a return to America followed by a final move into exile, with the collection’s last line expressing a desire to come to America and “America” as its final word.

ABSTRACT:This essay explores Hemingway's treatment for a spiral fracture at St. Vincent's Hospital, which was staffed by the Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth after a 1930 car crash in Billings, Montana. It details the surgical intervention to repair the fracture, which used sutures made of kangaroo tail and Hemingway's subsequent fourteen-week recovery. The essay also explores how Hemingway's stay at the hospital influenced his short story, "The Gambler, the Nun, and the Radio."
