Video: "The Sun Also Rises" by Ernest Hemingway

National Association of Scholars

“It is awfully easy to be hard-boiled about everything in the daytime, but at night it is another thing.”

What makes The Sun Also Rises a great American novel? What are some of the major themes of the book, and how does Hemingway draw them out?

This webinar features James Nagel, Eidson Distinguished Professor Emeritus at the University of Georgia and Resident Scholar at Dartmouth College; Kirk Curnutt, Professor and Chair of English at Troy University at Montgomery; and Jerry Kennedy, Boyd Professor of English at Louisiana State University.

The discussion is moderated by David Randall, Director of Research at the National Association of Scholars.
