ENGL 317 - Hemingway

Credit(s): 3
Prerequisite(s): ENGL 112 or ENGL 192 / HONR 192.
This course follows Ernest Hemingway, through his writings, from his early days in Paris knocking on Gertrude Stein’s door to his final moments in Ketchum, Idaho. Readings will include some of his major novels, short stories, and non-fiction. Additionally, the course will consider the interrelated effects of Hemingway’s self-engineered celebrity status — as the rugged bearded world traveler — which coincided precisely with the rise of modern media technology, and exceeded his literary fame even within his lifetime.
