About This Item
University Park and London: The Pennsylvania University Press, 1966. First Edition, First Printing. Very Good in a Very Good Dust Jacket. Very Good/Very Good.
The bindings are tight and square. Text clean, light even toning. Minimal shelf handling wear. Dust jacket modest shelf handling. 8vo; 8.5 inches tall; 297 pages with an index.. This widely praised critical study was described as "the best book on Hemingway," and its importance was substantially enhanced when Philip Young added an absorbing account of his difficult exchange with Hemingway during the book's preparation and a summary of Hemingway's final years.
Philip Young is considered to be the first serious Ernest Hemingway scholar; indeed his scholarship brought him into conflict with Hemingway himself.
In his 1948 biography of Hemingway, written for his doctoral dissertation, Young argued that Hemingway's writing was strongly affected by an injury Hemingway received in 1918, while serving in World War I. Hemingway strongly objected to this theory.
