The Sun Also Rises (Bloom's Guides)Published in 1926, Ernest Hemingway's "The Sun Also Rises" quickly established the author as one of the great writers of his time. Based on Hemingway's experiences, "The Sun Also Rises" is the story of a group of American and English expatriates living in Paris who take an excursion to Pamplona, Spain. The novel has forever associated Hemingway with bullfights and the running of the bulls. This powerful work of modern fiction, filled with memorable characters and universal themes, is summarized in this volume and enhanced by thought-provoking critical extracts
Modernism and Democracy: Literary Culture 1900-1930
Anglo-American modernist writing and modern mass democratic states emerged at the same time, during the period of 1900-1930. Yet writers such as T. S. Eliot, W. B. Yeats, Ezra Pound, Wyndham Lewis, and Ford Madox Ford were notoriously hostile to modern democracies. They often defended, anti-democratic forms of cultural authority. Since the late 1970s, however, our understanding of modernist culture has altered as previously marginalized writers, in particular women such as Gertrude Stein, Djuna Barnes, H. D. and Mina Loy have been reassessed.
