Annotation
Compares Cather’s style of diminution in The Professor’s House (1925) to Hemingway’s “iceberg principle.” Love argues that Cather developed theories of omission prior to Hemingway but acknowledges Hemingway’s ownership of the style. Love also speculates on Cather’s possible influence on Hemingway.
