Title
Dawn and Decline: Contrasting Spaces in Wharton's "False Dawn" and Hemingway's "A Very Short Story"
Document Type
Book Chapter
Annotation
Compares Wharton's 1924 novella with Hemingway's short story to show how both authors use geographical space to reflect their male protagonists' psychological states. In tracing their journeys from the liberating and rejuvenating landscapes of Italy to the artificial and stifling atmosphere of their home country, the United States, Salenius charts their emotional and physical decline.
