Contributions to Literature
Hemingway and his Nobel Prize.
As one of the great authors
in American history, Hemingway greatly impacted the literary world and is often
cited as a major influence for modern authors. His short but efficient writing
style is one of the hallmarks of his literature, showing a new generation
of writers that it was not necessary to provide lengthy detail to make a captivating novel. Indeed, his blunt and straightforward writing style won him much praise and is instantly recognizable as his contribution to literature. Repetition and lack of dialogue were also characteristics of Hemingway's novels, once again indicating that it did not take many words to get a strong message across.
In addition to his writing style, the theme of war that Hemingway so heavily focused on was also a defining aspect of his. Bottling up the feelings of an entire generation, Hemingway's pacifist views and anti-war messages in his novels was the crux of the "Lost Generation". Hemingway took a bold stand against the war-like nature of the world at the time, and he served as a symbol of resistance that influences authors to this day.
