Document Type
Book Chapter
Annotation
Reception study drawing on Spanish periodicals from the 1920s through the 1970s to assess Hemingway’s evolving reputation in Spain. Twomey concludes that while praised by aficionados for Death in the Afternoon, Hemingway’s reception by critics and journalists following the publication of For Whom the Bell Tolls was largely negative until the 1950s when the Spanish press positively covered his visits and the Spanish translation of The Old Man and the Sea was published. Concludes that Hemingway was welcomed as a friend of Spain in his closing years despite his civil war politics.
