Annotation
Examines the absence of corrected textual editions of Hemingway's works, a situation once described by scholar Michael Reynolds as "curious and appalling." Illustrates how even recently published editions in the Hemingway Library series, edited by Seán Hemingway, remain problematic for scholars because they generally perpetuate faulty transcriptions from the manuscripts. Recognizing that "(s)mall errors greatly influence our interpretations," Trogdon argues for corrected editions of all of Hemingway's work and expects that as some of the earliest works reach public domain status in the coming years, interested scholars may be poised to produce them.
