Annotation

Influence study tracing similarities between Walton’s The Compleat Angler (1653) and Hemingway’s short story. Arguing against the conventional war wound reading, Monteiro identifies both texts as forms of the georgic tradition, serving to praise, instruct, and recreate the sport of fishing. Draws on other Hemingway descriptions of fishing in To Have and Have Not, and elsewhere.
