The Letters of Ernest Hemingway

FAIN: RQ-260734-18

Penn State (University Park, PA 16802-1503)
Sandra W. Spanier (Project Director: December 2017 to present)

Preparation for publication of Volumes 5, 6, and 7 of a scholarly edition of 6,000 surviving letters of American author Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961). (36 months)

The Letters of Ernest Hemingway, being published by Cambridge University Press, is a comprehensive scholarly edition of the some 6,000 surviving letters of Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961)--about 85% previously unpublished--in a projected 17 volumes. A 1954 Nobel Laureate, Hemingway made a profound impact on modern prose and still commands enormous popular as well as scholarly interest worldwide. The letters not only provide important new biographical information and insights into the artistic achievement of this most influential American writer, they constitute a running eyewitness history of much of the 20th century. Volumes 1-4 (spanning 1907-1931) were published between 2011 and 2017. We are requesting three-year funding (October 2018-September 2021) to complete and see into print volume 5, to submit and see through pre-production volume 6 (for publication November 2021), and to begin textual and annotation work on volume 7, encompassing Hemingway's letters from 1932 through May 1941.

The Letters of Ernest Hemingway, Volume 5 (1932-1934) (Book)
Title: The Letters of Ernest Hemingway, Volume 5 (1932-1934)
Author: Ernest Hemingway
Editor: Sandra Spanier
Editor: Miriam B. Mandel
Editor: Krista Quesenberry, Volume Associate Editor
Editor: Verna Kale, Volume Associate Editor
Editor: Albert J. DeFazio III, Volume Associate Editor
Abstract: The Letters of Ernest Hemingway, Volume 5, spanning 1932 through May 1934, traces the completion and publication of Death in the Afternoon and Winner Take Nothing. During this intensely active period, Hemingway hunts in Arkansas and Wyoming, fishes the waters off Key West and Cuba, revisits Madrid and Paris, and undertakes a long-anticipated African safari. He witnesses transitions at home and abroad: the deepening Great Depression, Prohibition-era rumrunning, revolution in Cuba, and political unrest in Spain. His readership and celebrity continue to expand as he begins writing for the new men's magazine Esquire. As the volume ends, Hemingway has just acquired his beloved boat, Pilar. The letters detail these events as well as his relationships with his family, friends, publishers, critics and literary contemporaries including editor Maxwell Perkins, Archibald MacLeish, John Dos Passos, Ezra Pound, and F. Scott Fitzgerald. Together the letters paint an intimate self-portrait of this multi-faceted, self-confident, energetic artist in his prime.

Title: The Letters of Ernest Hemingway: Volume 2, 1923-1925
Author: Ernest Hemingway
Editor: Robert W. Trogdon
Editor: Sandra Spanier
Editor: Albert J. DeFazio III
Abstract: The second volume in this edition of all surviving letters of Ernest Hemingway illuminates Hemingway’s literary apprenticeship in the legendary milieu of expatriate Paris in the 1920s. We witness the development of his friendships with the likes of Sylvia Beach, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and John Dos Passos. Striving to “make it new,” he emerges from the tutelage of Ezra Pound and Gertrude Stein to forge a new style, gaining recognition as one of the most formidable talents of his generation. In this period, Hemingway publishes his first three books, including In Our Time (1925), and discovers a lifelong passion for Spain and the bullfight, quickly transforming his experiences into fiction as The Sun Also Rises (1926).

The Letters of Ernest Hemingway: Volume 3, 1926-1929 (Book)
Title: The Letters of Ernest Hemingway: Volume 3, 1926-1929
Author: Ernest Hemingway
Editor: Robert W. Trogdon
Editor: Rena Sanderson
Editor: Sandra Spanier
Abstract: The Letters of Ernest Hemingway, Volume 3: 1926-1929, featuring many previously unpublished letters, follows a rising star as he emerges from the literary Left Bank of Paris and moves into the American mainstream. Maxwell Perkins, legendary editor at Scribner's, nurtured the young Hemingway's talent, accepting his satirical novel Torrents of Spring (1926) in order to publish what would become a signature work of the twentieth century: The Sun Also Rises (1926). By early 1929 Hemingway had completed A Farewell to Arms. Hemingway's letters of this period also reflect landmark events in his personal life, including the dissolution of his first marriage, his remarriage, the birth of his second son, and the suicide of his father. As the volume ends in April 1929, Hemingway is setting off from Key West to return to Paris and standing on the cusp of celebrity as one of the major writers of his time.
