Synopsis

Ernest Hemingway’s first major novel, The Sun Also Rises follows American and British expatriates in France and Spain in the years following World War I. The novel electrified the literary community of the 1920s and was a popular success; it advanced Hemingway’s public celebrity and solidified the modernist style for which he would be recognized twenty-eight years later when he won the Nobel Prize for Literature. This edition provides an introduction, textual notes, a chronology, a bibliography, and six appendices of materials from the early twentieth century that will assist readers in interpreting The Sun Also Rises. This volume also addresses long-standing issues with the original editing of the novel and concerns about its portrayals of Jewish people, Black Americans, women, and others.

Ultimately, this Broadview Edition assists readers in understanding a work whose references and contexts have been obscured over its one-hundred-year existence, and it also opens up opportunities for new interpretations of this landmark novel.
