January Tuesdays 6th-27th 2-4pm (ZOOM)
Ernest Hemingway's For Whom the Bell Tolls is an epic romance set in the Spanish Civil War over a few days in 1937. Hemingway wrote the novel soon after witnessing the war first hand. An immediate bestseller when published in 1940, the book centers around an American volunteer's attempt to blow up a strategic bridge on behalf of anti-fascist Republican forces. The novel has stirred controversies with political factions on both the right and the left and with literary critics. This class will read the novel and explore the historical, political, and literary contexts which make it controversial--and timely--in today's political climate. We will read the Scribners paperback edition.
