Joyce's Dubliners and Hemingway's In Our Time: A Correlation

One rarely sees the names James Joyce and Ernest Hemingway together in the same sentence. Their obvious differences in writing styles, nationalities, and lifestyles prevent any automatic comparison from being made. But when one compares their early short story collections, Dubliners and In Our Time, many surprisingly similarities appear. Both are collections of short stories unified in some way, written by expatriates who knew each other in Paris. A mood of despair and hopelessness pervades the… more

Characterization of the American Abroad in the Fiction of Ernest Hemingway

With the exception of To Have and Have Not, the novels of Ernest Hemingway are set outside the United States; all, however, contain American characters.

The areas of influence that I will rely on in many ways follow the stages Harold Bloom outlines in Anxiety of Influence. Gellhorn's work exposes a stage of influence that Bloo… more
