Hemingway’s Education, a Re-Examination: Oak Park High School and the Legacy of Principal Hanna
Document Type
Book
Annotation
Comprehensive examination of Hemingway’s secondary education, reconstructing year by year his high school curriculum and experiences under innovative high school Principal John Calvin Hanna. Suggests that Hanna’s implementation of a strong language core emphasizing intensive writing and the study of English literature may have influenced Hemingway’s early development as a writer more than previously thought. Helpful appendices include biographies of Hemingway’s teachers and publication of the Mainland Collection of his high school papers (poems and nonfiction narratives written for his junior and senior English classes).
