Annotation
Traces Hemingway’s influence on the evolution of creative writing instruction in an era in which his realistic brand of modernism stood in stark contrast to the new humanists’ abstract approach to literature. Claiming Hemingway’s writing has influenced, often unconsciously, generations of postmodern writers, Bennett closes with an examination of the prose style and content of The Old Man and the Sea along with commentary on the novella’s usefulness for critics, teachers, and students.
