Ernest Hemingway did more to transform the style of English prose than any other writer in the twentieth century, and it all began with the publication of his first novel The Sun Also Rises. This anthology examines the craft behind the novel which established Hemingway as the voice of his generation and why even after decades of study it is still considered his most important work.
Review:
"An anthology of essays by scholars representing various perspectives and interpretation of the novel. The book(s) provides criticism and discussions of meaning, structure, and the historical content...as well as biographical information. It is organized in such a way that will give students a plethora of information in a largely accessible format. Each chapter heading is annotated, giving readers a chance to sample the content of the essays. Furthermore, each selection is introduced with background biographical data on the essay's author alongwith a summary of the content and the particular point of view represented. A reader-friendly and comprehensive resouce for students and teachers of world literature."
