Opis

This study examines the impact of scientific and sexologic theories on the creation of characters in the prose of two moderns, Hemingway and HD. While their literary forms were distinctly different, Deirdre Anne Pettipiece shows how their literary motives were very similar - being rooted in evolutionary theory.
