Annotation
Investigates Hemingway’s reliance on Trevelyan’s memoir, Scenes from Italy’s War (1919), and other firsthand accounts in constructing Frederic and Catherine’s working conditions as medical staff at the Italian front. Rennie’s research culturally contextualizes their budding romance at the British hospital and considers the impact of source material on the author’s depictions of the Plava offensive and Caporetto retreat.
