Ernest Hemingway Term Papers
Ernest Miller Hemingway was an American novelist, short-story writer,
and journalist.
Ernest Hemingway was part of the 1920s expatriate community in Paris,
and one of the veterans of World War One later known as "the Lost
Generation," a term Gertrude Stein used according to his posthumous
memoir A Moveable Feast. ("'That's what you are. That's what you all
are,' Miss Stein said. 'All of you young people who served in the war.
You are a lost generation.'" Stein had overheard a garage owner use the
phrase to criticize a mechanic.)
Ernest Hemingway received the Pulitzer Prize in 1953 for The Old Man
and the Sea, and the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954.
Ernest Hemingway's distinctive writing style is characterized by economy
and understatement, in contrast to the style of his literary rival
William Faulkner. It had a significant influence on the development of
twentieth-century fiction writing.
Hemingway's protagonists are typically stoic men who exhibit an ideal
described as "grace under pressure." Many of his works are now
considered canonical in American literature.
