Hemingway's Laboratory

Brings into sharp relief the development of Hemingway's themes and techniques, and his future course as a stylist and writer.
"Deftly written and impeccably researched . . . a path-breaking study of Ernest Hemingway's Paris apprenticeship and his early experiments with English prose. Looking through the lens of Hemingway's 1924 "in our time," Milton Cohen enlarges our understanding of the revolutionary Hemingway style and the origins of American literary modernism."--Susan F. Beegel, Editor, "The Hemingway Review
""There is nothing in Hemingway studies that is nearly so thorough and syste-matic as "Hemingway's Laboratory." Professor Cohen's study combines a great deal of original thinking with a lucid and pleasantly written synthesis of previous scholarship. One of the strongest qualities of this book is the author's knowledge of the entire Hemingway oeuvre and its place in American modernist letters."--Matthew Stewart, author of "Modernism and Tradition in Ernest Hemingway's" in our time.
