ABSTRACT: Great War mapping techniques held a deeper sway on Hemingway's prose style and themes than critics have previously understood. As a process that clears away visual clutter for better absorption and execution on the battlefield, the cartographic technique of "restitution" is of particular relevance for A Farewell to Arms . As the novel unfolds, Frederic and Catherine's love affair becomes so intense and filled with bodily risk that their consciousnesses begin to merge in ways that, after Catherine’s death, Frederic's narrative seeks to process and sort out. To the extent that his prose account of the experience resembles a restituted map, he achieves a clarity of vision to safely place Catherine’s memory in emotionally delineated parameters that will allow him to navigate a life without her.
ABSTRACT: This study explores Ernest Hemingway’s household finances through his handwritten checkbook preserved at the Hemingway Museum in Havana. While Hemingway is often depicted as a bold adventurer, his financial records reveal a meticulous approach to managing income, taxation, and support for dependents. By analyzing checkbook entries from 1946–1949, this paper examines Hemingway’s financial prudence and its reflection in Islands in the Stream . The study also contextualizes Hemingway’s taxation strategies and monetary obligations, challenging the prevailing image of his extravagance. Ultimately, it highlights how Hemingway’s financial situation influenced his literary themes and the autobiographical elements in his fiction.
ABSTRACT: In 1924, days before his second Fiesta de San Fermín, Hemingway obtained subscription tickets for the bullfights held during the fiesta for himself, his wife Hadley, and his friends. He would continue to hold season tickets in his name for the fiesta during his visits to Pamplona through 1931. This article discusses how Hemingway obtained the tickets and their economic impact, his relationship with the fiesta, and the taurine context of the fiestas during the years 1924, 1925, 1926, 1927, 1929, and 1931.
