Teaching Hemmingway

A scholarly look at how Hemingway's style has been read and taught.
Reading guide
This is a standalone title, so it can be read on its own with no prior reading required.
The book opens with critical responses to Hemingway's early work, in particular the comparisons of To Have and Have Not to Cezanne's art. It then considers how his style was described after The Old Man and the Sea appeared in 1952, and how these ideas bear on teaching his writing.

Description

A Sea of Change is an academic work from Kent State University Press that focuses on pedagogical approaches to the literary legacy of Ernest Hemingway. It offers specialised insights into instructional methods and literary analysis, with a structured educational approach to the complexities of Hemingway's prose. It will suit scholars, educators and students of literature who want to think about how his work is taught and understood.

The publisher's blurb points to a shift in critical opinion. When To Have and Have Not appeared, Hemingway's treatment of theme, setting and character was often compared to Cezanne's art and described as abstract. After The Old Man and the Sea was published in 1952, his style was described in different terms, and the book explores this changing response.
