Title
"Is It Unmaidenly?": Courtly and Carnal Language in Across the River and into the Trees
Document Type
Article
Annotation
Complicates the prevailing dichotomous conception of Renata as either elegant aristocrat or whore by analyzing the couple’s verbal exchanges oscillating between “courtly” and “carnal.” Reexamines the widely accepted notion that the text’s fictional relationship has a biographical basis in Hemingway’s relationship with Adriana Ivancich.
