Gale study guides to great literature
Literary Masterpieces is one series of the trio that makes up the Gale Study Guides to Great Literature (the others are Literary Topics and Literary Masters). Each Literary Masterpieces volume chooses a book by one of the authors covered in literary Masters and offers a discussion of themes, characters, comparisons with social events of the era when the book was written and a critical analysis. The Sun Also Rises was published on October 22, 1926, in the midst of Ernest Hemingway's most celebrated decade as a writer.
