Title
Hemingway, Stevens, and the Meditative Poetry of "Extraordinary Actuality"
Document Type
Book Chapter
Annotation
Draws on Stevens’s poetry and correspondence to illuminate the poetic and meditative intensity of Hemingway’s prose, particularly In Our Time and To Have and Have Not. Beard asserts that Hemingway’s protagonists demonstrate meditative attitudes and reflection, thus serving as constrictive counterpoints to the violence and conflict found within his writing and public personas.
