Summary:

Professor Peter L. Hays, an experienced teacher, has gathered together seasoned instructors who teach Ernest Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises throughout the country, in different colleges and high schools, and in different styles. An informative collection of approaches to the presentation of The Sun Also Rises, this volume provides historic background, glosses arcane references, presents critical interpretations, and offers methodologies to inspire teachers of college and high-school students. From material on the bitter aftermath of World War I and the "Lost Generation," to current theories on the construction and performance of gender, the book provides everything today's teachers need to develop and explain the themes in this classic of modern literature.
