Across the River and into the Trees: A Trigonometric Mirror
Document Type
Book Chapter
Annotation
Probes Hemingway’s literary indebtedness through a close reading of passages from the novel in comparison to Walt Whitman’s “Song of Myself” and Gabriele D’Annunzio’s Notturno (1921), including charts connecting characters and themes. Compares elevator scenes in Across the River and into the Trees and A Farewell to Arms, and suggests Alice Corbin’s “Where the Fight Was” as a source for the novel’s title.
