Fitzgerald and Hemingway

More than in past years, scholarship on Ernest Hemingway significantly outweighs scholarship on F. Scott Fitzgerald. The Great Gatsby continues to generate interest, but there is also a noticeable turn away from that masterpiece and toward other novels, stories, and collections. Articles consider the influence of editors, Hollywood directors, and even automotive culture on Fitzgerald’s writing. The most prominent theme is adaptation, with articles on silent films, Hollywood blockbusters, and TV pilots based on Fitzgerald works as well as the way translation occurs as an adaptive process. The majority of this scholarship appears in the F. Scott Fitzgerald Review, with only a handful of articles published elsewhere. Work on Hemingway emphasizes geographical contexts, with various books and articles focusing on the writer’s connections with Spain, Italy, and Africa. Biographical works deepen understanding of his life and appreciation for the interplay between his life and creative output. And scholars provide insights on Hemingway’s representations of gender, sexuality, and warfare and discuss the best ways to teach these topics to high schooland university-level students.
