Sinossi

A resource for teaching Hemingway s landmark novelProfessor Peter L. Hays, an experienced teacher who has taught The Sun Also Rises for more than forty years, has gathered together other seasoned instructors who teach Ernest Hemingway s rich and complex novel. An informative collection of approaches to the presentation of The Sun Also Rises, this volume provides historic background and a glossary of arcane references, presents critical interpretations, and offers methodologies to inspire teachers of college and high school students.From material on the bitter aftermath of World War I and the Lost Generation to current theories on the construction and performance of gender, this collection provides everything today s instructors need to develop and explain the themes in this classic of modern literature. The essays reveal that The Sun Also Rises is not just a work about the 1920s but a complex novel that can be taught as an embodiment of existential philosophy; a statement about the construction and performance of gender; and a discussion of themes of masculinity, theory, and psychoanalysis.
