Annotation
Discusses the challenges of overcoming student resistance to viewing the novel as Catherine Barkley’s story without dismissing Frederic Henry’s importance. Relying on class discussion of key passages, short essay tests, and informal response papers, Lerman articulates her strategies for encouraging a fuller understanding of Catherine’s maturation and integral role in Henry’s development. Appendix features topics for an undergraduate essay assignment incorporating research.
