Hemingway: The Writer's Art of Self-DefenseHemingway was first published in 1970. Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the original University of Minnesota Press editions. In a close critical analysis of five of Ernest Hemingway's novels and a number of his most important short stories, Professor Benson provides a fascinating new view of his work. The novels discussed are The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms, For Whom the Bell Tolls, Across the River and into the Trees,and the Old Man and the Sea. Hemingway's art of self-defense, which Professor Benson refers to in his subtitle, was, as he demonstrates in his perceptive criticism, the writer's use of style and technique to attack the sentimentalities which were Hemingway's own weakness. Emotion was central to the task which Hemingway defined for himself, Professor Benson explains, and a critical appraisal of his work must, therefore, focus particularly on the ways in which he dealt with and expressed emotion. |

appeal at the end of "The Doctor and the Doctor's Wife" to go with his father is a
plaintive ...
... as an ironic introduction to the scene of Nick's adolescent experimentation with
Trudy. Trudy — which, by the way, turns out to be the short form for Prudence and
not Gertrude — turns up later in the Nick Adams chronology in "Ten Indians.
The father in the Nick Adams stories is first of all, of course, just that — a father.
He is the possible source of love, comfort, and security. He is also, typically, a
possible guide, teacher, and model. Every boy's father must take up the burden of
