My Master's Thesis on expressing the inexpressible. "The Struggle to Write: Ernest Hemingway and Paul Auster"

The Struggle to Write: Ernest Hemingway and Paul Auster, 2016

This paper aims to investigate how Ernest Hemingway and Paul Auster struggled with their writing.... more This paper aims to investigate how Ernest Hemingway and Paul Auster struggled with their writing. More specifically, it aims to answer the question: why was it so hard for them to write? By analyzing and comparing a group of selected works from each author, as well as other sources of related material, I intend to identify and demonstrate the patterns that emerge pertaining to the struggle to write and to shed light on the implications and consequences of their struggle.

By God, if wommen hadde writen stories, As clerkes han withinne hire oratories, They wolde han writen of men moore wikkednesse Than al the mark of Adam may redresse. … The clerk, when he is oold, and may noght do Of Venus werkes worth his olde sho, Thanne sit he doun, and writ in his dotage That wommen kan nat kepe hir marriage!' (III, 693-96, 707-10) Understanding how women lived and their role in society in the late fourteenth century is an ongoing task that raises many questions to which answers can never be definite. Historical evidence and the surviving literature from that time can give us the best guidance in such endeavour, even though one should be cautious when analysing a body of literature which is mostly constituted by male authorship. One particularly relevant example is the book Le Ménagie de Paris (c. 1393), a French medieval guidebook written by a sixtyyear-old man for his fifteen-year-old wife. In it he includes references to some of Chaucer's tales and female characters, Griselda being one of them, as he cites her as a reference to Chaucer and the Politics of English as a minority language 16/12/2013 David Gomes zrp475 3
