  • Description

    By contrast, in 1952, with the publication of “The Old Man and the Sea”, his style was described as comparable to Winslow Homer’s - realistic.At the center of this evolution is the contention that Hemingway’s preoccupation with and scientific study of life in the Gulf Stream moved his theory and practice of writing away from the Paris art circle of the 1920s to the new realism of the 1950s. “A Sea of Change” explores the importance of Hemingway’s relationship to the waters of the Gulf Stream that transformed his imaginative work.Drawing primarily on Ernest Hemingway’s handwritten and unpublished fishing logs and from published and unpublished correspondence and newspaper articles, Mark P.

    Winthrop Wetherbee
  • Publication Details

    Book, University of Notre Dame Press, 2008
  • Description
