Description

"It is, I think, the collective hope of us involved with this volume that-through its authors' collective experience, intellectual rigor, practical advice, conversational tone, sample syllabi, and enthusiastic encouragement-it inspires future generations of teachers to return to this iconically modernist novel so that students once again have the opportunity to understand its artistry for themselves."-from the IntroductionThis first volume in the new Teaching Hemingway Series is a collection of richly nuanced, insightful, and innovative essays on teaching A Farewell to Arms from authors with varied backgrounds, including all levels of secondary and higher education. Read separately, the essays contribute to an enhanced understanding and appreciation of this master work. These seasoned instructors offer practical and creative classroom strategies, sample syllabi, and other teaching tools.

Acknowledgments

I ûŝ ﬁrst acknowledge a very great debt to Susan Beegel, editor of the Hemingway Reviewand long a progressive force in Hemingway scholarship. Susan ﬁrst recruited me to edit this book for a series on teaching Hemingway’s novels, originally to be published by the University of Idaho Press. When the University of Idaho chose to dismantle its press aer most of the essays in this collection had already been draed, Susan stood by the project and helped steer it to its new home at Kent State University Press. She also signed on with KSUP as series editor, thoughtfully reviewed the manuscript, and gave me honest advice about editing. Peter L. Hays, who edited Teaching Hemingway’se Sun Also Rises,the ﬁrst book in the series, for the University of Idaho Press, also generously advised me. Larry Grimes, who is editing a proposed third volume in the Teaching Hemingway series one Old Man and the Sea,kindly invited me to participate in a panel on teachingA Farewell to Armsthat he organized for the National Council of Teachers of English annual convention in Pittsburgh in fall 2005. It was exciting to have the opportunity to share with high school and college teach-ers some of what I had learned from the experience of editing this volume. I am grateful to Will Underwood and Joanna H. Craig of Kent State University Press for their willingness to take us on. I am proud to have the book published by the press whose list includes such distinguished Hemingway scholarship as Under Kilimanjaro,edited by Robert W. Lewis and Robert E. Fleming. As our manuscript’s reviewer, Linda Patterson Miller deserves thanks here for her time, her careful reading, and her constructive suggestions.

I would also like to express my gratitude to Jim Tyler, who encouraged me to say yes to this project, assured me repeatedly that I could do it, and bore with great fortitude my many anxious moments. Rose Tyler remains, with her father, the single greatest joy in my life, and I am thankful that she tolerated the many times when I was working and she would have preferred for me to play. Most of all, I am grateful to the contributors of this collection, who patiently waited while this book found its new home and while I ﬁgured out how to edit an anthology. As a community college professor who regularly teaches twelve or more classes a year, I am particularly appreciative of their kind patience with me.

Introduction

A FàÉÉ to Armsis, in my estimation, Ernest Hemingway’s ﬁnest novel. Such a claim ﬂies in the face of received wisdom, which would now award that honor to his much more popular debut novel,e Sun Also Rises.CertainlySunhas garnered the lion’s share of critical attention. Hemingway bibliographer Kelli A. Larson conceded in 992 thate Sun Also Risesis “clearly the most analyzed novel of the last ﬁeen years,” withA Farewell to Arms“a distant second” (2). at has not always been the case. In his early (952) inﬂuential study Hemingway: e Writer as Artist,Carlos Baker, one of the ﬁrst scholars to study Hemingway’s work and later the oﬃcial biographer of Hemingway, devoted many pages toA Farewell to Arms.He drew on the book’s opening sentence to examine its contrasts between the plains and the mountains, creating a geographical reading of the novel that inﬂuenced many midcentury critics of Hemingway’s work. (For further discussion of Baker’s work, see Gail D. Sinclair’s essay in this volume.) Of the period immediately following Hemingway’s death, Susan F. Beegel observes, “e vast majority of critics at work in the academy during this pe-riod were white Anglo-Saxon Protestant males, who shared World War II as their most important historic memory. Indeed, many were combat veterans. eir favorite novel wasA Farewell to Arms,Hemingway’s romantic tragedy of love and duty in a theater of war” (“Conclusion” 275). Beegel notes that it was only in the 970s thatA Farewell to Armsfaded in popularity, ceding ﬁrst
