Sun Also Rises: Annotated Bibliography

Claire Sprague. "The Sun Also Rises: Its 'Clear Financial Basis.'" American Quarterly, Vol. 21, No. 2, Part 1 (Summer, 1969), pp. 259-266.

This quasi-biographical, quasi-archetypal criticism focuses on the role of money in the novel, and Hemingway's attitude towards money and payment as best as it can be ascertained from his other writings. The role of money in the novel itself is examined from this standpoint, as well as the necessary acknowledgement of the universal symbolism inherent to money and the concept of payment. The narrow focus of this piece of criticism limits its usefulness as a source, but if a topic involving money or the idea of payment/retribution were being examined, this article would be invaluable. Easy to read and full of specific examples from throughout the novel, the level of scholarship is also quite high, making this a more useful resource.

Doris a. Helbig. "Confession, Charity, and Community in the Sun Also Rises." South Atlantic Review, Vol. 58, No. 2 (May, 1993), pp. 85-110.

This formalist-inspired reading of the novel examines the pattern of isolation that each of the main characters of the story goes through, especially as it relates to the concepts of guilt, confession, and some sense -- for some characters -- of redemption. The article also examines the way the text itself contributes to the sense of isolation in the novel. It describes several drafts and changes Hemingway went through, possibly to achieve this effect. Sections of the article are somewhat specious, and the writing is highly technical and dry, but an interesting discussion with broad implications.

William Adair. "The Sun Also Rises: A Memory of War." Twentieth Century Literature, Vol. 47, No. 1 (Spring, 2001), pp. 72-91

This piece of criticism applies an historical lens to the novel, reading it as Jake Barnes' memory of World War I. Adair makes a convincing case for this reading by citing other works and pieces of criticism from and about the period following the "Great War." He cites things in the work itself such as the landscape and a recurring theme of wounds and being wounded that he traces through several characters, most notably Barnes. He refers to the narrator as "thoroughly beaten up," and notes his apparent inability to escape the past. The construction makes this piece pleasurable to read, making it a rare gem in works of criticism. It also provides a broad context for the work that could be useful in many different discussions.

Mary Ann C. Curtis. "The Sun Also Rises: Its Relation to the Song of Roland." American Literature, Vol. 60, No. 2 (May, 1988), pp. 274-280.

In this formalist comparison of the novel to the ancient epic poem the Song of Roland, or La Chanson de Roland. There are many elements that Curtis delves into to make this comparison, including the figure f the chivalrous knight which she claims appears in some from in Hemingway's novel. Most important to her interpretation of the novel is the similarity in plot and structure it bears to the Song of Roland, however, and much of this criticism is devoted to pointing out little clues Curtis believes were left by Hemingway to lead the careful reader to the truth. Some of the assertions made are somewhat… READ MORE
