Any engagement with Ernest Hemingway's life and work must consider Italy--as Hemingway himself did--fundamental to his life and artistic development. This volume offers essays from not only scholars but also citizens who knew the author to examine how Italy shaped Hemingway's writing, whether in explicit scene-settings, character references, or filtered disappointments, and to reflect the current state of studies about Hemingway's Italian life, career, and imagination.
