Ernest Hemingway
TERM 3: FOCUS ON LN369
Wednesdays
Liam Lanigan
Ernest Hemingway’s captured moments of great intensity, tenderness, and pain, in a carefully constructed, minimalist style that has made him one of the twentieth century’s most influential writers. His works, both fiction and non-fiction, document a fascinating life in America and Europe during the early twentieth century. Dealing with the themes of love, war, and the nature of manhood, Hemingway’s writings take us on a journey through wartime Italy, post-war Paris émigré society, into the world of Spanish bullfighting and the Spanish civil war. This course will introduce a range of Hemingway’s texts, opening a window on an author who is by turns mesmerising, frustrating, controversial, and passionate, but who is always engaging, and often provocative.
