The Letters of Ernest Hemingway

FAIN: RQ-50342-08

Penn State (University Park, PA 16802-1503)
Sandra W. Spanier (Project Director: November 2007 to February 2012)

Work on the first four volumes (encompassing the years 1908-39) of a twelve-volume scholarly edition of Hemingway's letters. (36 months)

This project will result in the publication by Cambridge University Press of a comprehensive scholarly edition of the estimated 6,000-7,000 letters of Ernest Hemingway, only about ten percent of them ever published. Hemingway's pioneering contributions to American literature made a profound and lasting impact on modern English-language prose style, and his life and work still command enormous popular as well as scholarly interest worldwide. Besides providing new biographical and artistic insights into the achievement of this most influential American writer, the letters constitute a running eyewitness account and cultural history of much of the twentieth century. This edition will be published in twelve volumes over the next fifteen years. We are requesting a three-year funding to see into print volumes 1 and 2, to complete and submit volume 3, and to continue volume 4, together encompassing Hemingway's letters through 1939.

The Hunt for Hemingway (Media Coverage)
Author(s): A. Scott Berg
Publication: VANITY FAIR
Date: 10/1/2011
Abstract: Fourteen-page illustrated spread, featuring a narrative by Pulitzer prize winning biographer A. Scott Berg concerning efforts by a small group of North Americans, including general editor Sandra Spanier, to see the cache of Hemingway's documents, including his letters, at his home in Cuba (now a national museum) in 2002. Berg's narrative celebrates the launch of the Cambridge Edition of THE LETTERS OF ERNEST HEMINGWAY and serves as introduction to a selection of 7 previously unpublished letters, presented in full text, from volume 1 (1907-1922). Story appears in the U.S., U.K., and iPad editions of VANITY FAIR. The magazine negotiated first serial rights with Cambridge and, in the interests of maintaining exclusivity of coverage upon the book's 20 September release, requested a news embargo on other major news pieces until the issue is off the newsstands in mid-October 2011.
