The Letters of Ernest Hemingway

FAIN: RQ-50682-12

Penn State (University Park, PA 16802-1503)
Sandra W. Spanier (Project Director: December 2011 to June 2016)

The preparation for print publication of volumes 2-4 of a projected 16-volume edition of American author Ernest Hemingway's complete letters. (36 months)

This project will result in the publication by Cambridge University Press of a comprehensive scholarly edition of the some 6,000 surviving letters of Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961), about 85% previously unpublished. Winner of the 1954 Nobel Prize for Literature, Hemingway made a profound impact on modern prose. 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. The Cambridge Edition of The Letters of Ernest Hemingway will be published in 16 volumes over approximately the next twenty years. Volume 1 (1907-1922) was published in September 2011. The Project is requesting 3-year funding (October 2012-September 2015) to complete and publish volumes 2, 3, and 4, encompassing Hemingway's letters from 1923 through 1932.

The Letters of Ernest Hemingway: Volume 2, 1923-1925 (Book)
Title: The Letters of Ernest Hemingway: Volume 2, 1923-1925
Author: Ernest Hemingway
Editor: J. Gerald Kennedy, Volume Advisory Editor
Editor: Sandra Spanier, Editor
Editor: Albert J. DeFazio III, Editor
Editor: Robert W. Trogdon, Editor
Editor: Miriam B. Mandel, Volume Associate Editor
Editor: Rena Sanderson, Volume Associate Editor
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 The volume features many previously unpublished letters and a humorous sketch that was rejected by Vanity Fair. Included are a General Editor’s Introduction by Sandra Spanier and an Introduction to the Volume by J. Gerald Kennedy, along with detailed annotations, chronology, five maps, illustrations, roster of correspondents, calendar of letters, and index.

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
Editor: Rena Sanderson, Editor
Editor: Sandra Spanier, Editor
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.
