Book Chapter
Annotation
Situates “The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber” within its original publication context, Cosmopolitan, and invites students to first focus on the periodical’s paratextual material, including illustrations, advertisements, and articles. Wheeler asserts that reading Margot’s behavior within the historical and cultural context of the 1936 issue not only engages students but also helps them to approach the author and text more objectively.
