Title
Toward a Definition of the Hemingwayesque and the Faulknerian
Document Type
Book Chapter
Annotation
Compares the diction and syntax of Hemingway’s frequently anthologized “Hills Like White Elephants” to Faulkner’s “A Rose for Emily” to uncover the authors’ characteristic styles and differing perspectives on “man’s place in time and the world.” However, Bolton then deconstructs such an oversimplified analysis through his comparison of key passages from The Sun Also Rises and The Sound and the Fury (1929) to show modernism’s larger impact on shaping their not so different styles.
