It has been suggested that Hemmingway?s art has both virtues and limitations of lyricism—maximum intensity on one hand, extremely limited range on the other. This collection of essays covers the widely-read A Farewell to Arms. Subjects covered include the novel as pure poetry, tragic form, the sense of ending in the form, and more.
The title, Ernest Hemingway’s A Farewell To Arms, part of Chelsea House Publishers’ Modern Critical Interpretations series, presents the most important 20th-century criticism on Ernest Hemingway’s A Farewell To Arms through extracts of critical essays by well-known literary critics. This collection of criticism also features a short biography on Ernest Hemingway, a chronology of the author’s life, and an introductory essay written by Harold Bloom, Sterling Professor of the Humanities, Yale University.
