Summary

Hemingway's work reverberates with a blend of memory, geography, and lessons of life revealed through the trauma of experience. Travel was the engine of his creative life, as the recurrent contrast between spaces provided him with evidence of his emerging identity as writer. The contributors to this collection employ an intriguing range of approaches and use the concept of memory as an interpretive tool to enhance the understanding of Hemingway's creative process.
