Occasioned by the birth centennial of Ernest Hemingway in July 1999 at the American Studies Research Centre, Hyderabad, this volume brings together numerous fresh, provocative and insightful essays on this widely acknowledged American fictionist. It covers a large number of the major aspects of Hemingway’s oeuvre including those which have not been adequately discussed in Hemingway criticism so far. The anthology includes indepth readings of almost all the important Hemingway novels and several of his widely acclaimed short stories. In addition, it critiques at considerable length the rhetorical devices of the author, his self-reflexivity, the uses of his painstaking revisions, the image of Hemingway as a quintessential American, his impact on a number of American and Indian writers, his relevance to contem-porary struggles in India, and Hollywood’s controversial picturization of his fiction. This volume of jargon-free and illuminating revaluations will be of great interest to Hemingway scholars and common intelligent readers.
