Books by Philip Young

Ernest Hemingway - American Writers 1 was first published in 1959. Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the original University of Minnesota Press editions.

A volume of 19 essays by literary critic Philip Young, in which he reveals the "so what?" that he insisted all literary studies ought to have. In three sections, the essays demonstrate his fascination with American myths, examine the writing of Hemingway, and explore other topics in literature.

This volume is a study of the connections between Herman Melville's family and his fictions, between his secrets and their displaced expressions. Secrets Melville was careful never to reveal are unmasked by this text.
