Course Descriptions
English 316: Studies in Narrative:
Hemingway's Short Fiction
Professor: Steve Lane, Ph.D.;
Dean, Faculty of Arts and Humanities

American author Ernest Hemingway thought he needed to publish novels to establish his reputation. However, some of his best-enduring works were short stories. In fact, generations of first-year English students probably best know the name “Hemingway” and some sense of his style because of either “Hills Like White Elephants” or “A Clean, Well-lighted Place”, two often-anthologized short stories.
This course will begin with a discussion of “narrative” and “fiction,” and then attempt to define the “short story”. We will then turn to three volumes of Hemingway short stories: In Our Time, Men Without Women, and Winner Take Nothing. We will place these volumes in the contexts of their historical moments, as well as in the context of Hemingway’s life and canon.
