Features: The Sun Also Rises (1962) is a work by Hemingway, now widely recognized as one of the most important works in his long literary career. The essays collected in this volume provide valuable reading references for both readers unfamiliar with Hemingway and experts in his work. Each essay focuses on a major aspect of Hemingway's novels: humor, literary and historical background, the atypical modern character of Brett Ashley as a "New Woman" of the 1920s, and recent studies on gender issues in his later novels. The editor of the book provides a comprehensive introduction to the novel, detailing its writing, publication, and the reception of this great work by Hemingway's "Lost Generation."
