| Summary: | Hemingway and the Harvard Poets focuses on Hemingway's association with a group of men from Harvard University who volunteered to serve with the American Red Cross on the Italian front of World War I. These men made up Section One, stationed at Villa Ca' Erizzo in Bassano del Grappa-the current site of the Hemingway war museum-northwest of Venice on the banks of the Brenta River. After a brief contextual Treface by the museum's curator, Giandomenico Cortese, a second Treface follows, by Corydon Ireland, formerly of the Harvard Gazette, who corrects any misperception that Harvard might have cloistered its students from war service. Rather than cramming Hemingway's complete World War I story into a single truncated chapter, Mastandrea synthesizes the Hemingway-Villard relationship into the volume's crescendo. |
