Hemingway: A Static Figure Amidst the Red Decade Shifts
Document Type
Article
Annotation
Rejects the myth that Hemingway embraced communism in his fiction after gaining a sudden interest in politics during the 1930s. Briefly analyzes For Whom the Bell Tolls, To Have and Have Not, and The Fifth Column to argue that Hemingway never succumbed to writing propagandistic literature. Rather, Capshaw finds a strain of anarchy in his political philosophy.
