Ernest Hemingway and Edgar Allen Poe
Ernest Hemingway was an American novelist, journalist, writer of short stories, and winner of the 1954 Nobel Prize for literature. He created a distinguished body for prose fiction; much of which was based on his adventurous life. Hemingway was the second of six children of Clarence and Grace Hemingway. Upon graduation from Oak Park High School in 1917, he chose journalism instead of college and spent seven educational months as a cub reporter for the Kansas City Star. Kept from the armed forces by deficient eyesight, Hemingway volunteered as a Red Cross ambulance driver in Italy, an experience that was later to provide the theme and locale for one of his most successful novels, A Farewell to Arms. While serving temporarily as a canteen officer along the Piave River, he was severely wounded by shrapnel on July 1918. Following recuperation in Milan, he returned home in January 1919. Hemingway was eager to resume his former profession as a journalist, so he secured a part time job as a feature writer for the Toronto Star. In the fall of 1920 he became contributing editor of a trade journal in Chicago and there he met Hadley Richardson, who he married in September 1921. Late in 1923 he returned briefly to Toron
Hemingway's physical and mental health were now seriously impaired. In 1960 he left Cuba for Ketchum, Idaho, where he had recently acquired a house. He failed to recover fully and killed himself with a shotgun in his home. Poe published fiction, notably his most horrifying tale, "Berenice," in the Messenger, but most of his contributions were serious, analytical, and critical reviews that earned him respect as a critic. Poe however, had a very serious drinking problem, and was known as an alcoholic. He traveled to Baltimore to live with his widowed aunt, Maria Clemm, and her daughter, Virginia. He turned to fiction as a way to support himself. In 1832 the Philadelphia Saturday Courier published five of his stories, all were comic or satiric. In 1835 he became editor of the Southern Literacy Messenger and married Virginia, who was not yet 14 years old. to, where their son John was born, but Europe still gleamed in Hemingway's imagination as the place to be. Early in 1924 he resigned from the Star returned to Paris, and launched his career as a serious writer.
