Annotation
Comparison study. Draws on John Limon’s theories of war literature to show the complex relationship between war and peace in Crane’s “A Mystery of Heroism,” and to a lesser extent in A Farewell to Arms and chapter three of In Our Time. Concludes that Hemingway’s realistic style precludes an easy categorization of his rhetorical technique.
