Summary

This book provides fresh evidence suggesting that Ernest Hemingway's high school education contributed considerably more to his development as a mature writer than has thus far been known. The author makes use of early compostions now available and, adding this information to that previously available, reassesses the development of Hemingway as a writer.

Author Biography
