Hemingway's Craft (A Chicago Classic)

With Hemingway’s work arousing a new surge of interest, the need is evi­dent for a new, responsible critical approach to his craft. It is to this point, of dealing with the writer’s artistry, that Grebstein addresses himself—to “those aspects of structure, language, and narrative technique which distinguishes his writing from all other.” And in a manner that is genuinely new in Hem­ingway criticism Mr. Grebstein under­takes a thorough analysis of the elements of craft which characterized Hemingway’s skill as a writer.

An important addition to this book is the Appendix which reprints several significant passages which were deleted from two of the major works, A Fare­well to Arms and For Whom the Bell Tolls.

Sheldon Norman Grebstein is Pro­fessor of English and Director of Grad­uate English Studies at the State Uni­versity of New York at Binghamton.
