Reynolds exhaustively chronicles the particular literary influences on Hemingway oftentimes even recounting the reading lists that the writer received from particular individuals.

Wilfrid Scawen Blunt 1840 - 1922 was an English poet diplomat and outspoken critic of colonialism. Blunt married Lady Anne Noel the granddaughter of Lord Byron in 1869 and together they ran the Crabbet Arabian Stud a prominent horse breeding farm in Sussex which imported exceptional Arabian horses from the Middle East. Blunt's marriage to Lord Byron's granddaughter was emblematic of his broader aspiration to emulate Byron: much like the renowned Romantic poet Blunt was a strikingly handsome womanizer a social outcast and a world traveler who fought for idealistic causes. Some of the chapter titles in My Diaries illustrate the sweeping range of Blunt's interests and adventures: "A Visit to Greece in 1888" "Egypt under Tewfik in 1889" "A Visit to Tunis and Tripoli" "Satan Absolved - The Boer War" "Literature and Politics" "The French Invade Morocco" and "The War with Germany Declared." Blunt published many works in his lifetime including The Love Sonnets of Proteus 1881 The Future of Islam 1882 and Satan Absolved: A Victorian Mystery 1899. Blunt and Hemingway were similar in personality and lifestyle in that they are both remembered not only for their literary contributions but also for embracing a comprehensive life and valuing the wisdom gained from experiences. .

2070Fort Lauderdale FL: S.i. 1984. First Edition. Self-published draft of the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist's play set in Hemingway's home in Cuba during the 1950's. In addition to working for South Florida's Sun Sentinel de Groot was also a member of the award-winning team that covered the Kent State shootings in 1970. de Groot's depiction of Hemingway relied more on "the man and his exploits" than his literary legacy and the play was a result of his life-long fascination with the author.

Ten years later the play ran for 73 performances at the Douglas Fairbanks Theater in New York directed by John Henry Davis and starring Len Cariou as Hemingway.

Eliot's second volume of poetry published three years after his debut volume Prufrock and Other Observations 1917. Poems contains new work such as "Gerontion" "The Hippopotamus" "Whispers of Immortality" and "Sweeney Among the Nightingales" as well as poems from Prufrock including "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" "Portrait of a Lady" and "La Figlia Che Pianga." T. S. Eliot 1888 - 1965 is recognized as perhaps the greatest modernist poet whose groundbreaking works "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" The Waste Land 1922 and Four Quartets 1936 - 1942 had a seismic impact on the literary landscape. Eliot was also extremely influential as a literary critic having changed the lens through which poetry was viewed and understood with essays like "Tradition and the Individual Talent" 1919. In 1948 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. Ernest Hemingway never met T. S. Eliot yet he returned to the poet continually throughout his career both to mock and draw literary inspiration from him. Both writers were "discovered" and mentored by Ezra Pound who had a remarkably discerning eye for literary greatness Pound also helped nurture the talents of James Joyce Robert Frost and H.D. In 1922 Pound brought Eliot's The Waste Land to Hemingway's attention and provided him with special insight into the poem's autobiographical foundations. While Hemingway respected Eliot's ability as a poet he often disparaged Eliot as a person mocking him for his effete character. His ambivalent feelings toward Eliot can be summed in a line from a 1950 letter he wrote to his friend Harvey Breit "Eliot's a damned good poet and a fair critic; but he can kiss my ass as a man and he never hit a ball out of the infield in his life." the latter remark was a reference to Yogi Berra who like Eliot was from St. Louis. It has been theorized that Hemingway's short story "Mr. and Mrs. Elliot" was a jab at T. S. Eliot and his wife deriding their sexual relationship. In the essay "Ernest Hemingway and T. S. Eliot: A Tangled Relationship" 2012 J. M. Flora explores Hemingway's complex feelings towards Eliot noting thinly veiled critiques that Hemingway made about Eliot in some of his works including Death in the Afternoon 1932 and A Moveable Feast 1964 while pointing out the clear influence of Eliot's poetry particularly The Waste Land 1922 in sections of The Sun Also Rises 1926 Green Hills of Africa 1935 Across the River and Into the Trees 1950 and Hemingway's short story "Hills Like White Elephants" 1927. Flora writes "Hemingway became adept at mocking the poet. Regardless he continued to read to ponder and to remember Eliot's poetry and his criticism. Hemingway became Eliot's irreverent disciple." This copy of Poems was dated July 28 1928 by Ruth White Lowry one month after Ernest and Pauline's second child Patrick was born at the Lowry home outside Kansas City. The couple stayed at Ernest's Aunt Arabell's home in Mission Hills leading up to the birth before moving to Ruth's and her husband Malcolm's home because of tension between Ernest and Arabell. Around the time that this copy was dated Hemingway was likely at the Folly Ranch in Sheridan Wyoming working intensely on A Farewell to Arms. . Signed. Second American Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good.
