All Man! looks at the immensely popular men's magazines of the 1950s, which boasted a particularly aggressive form of masculinity. Papa Hemingway is the natural model for this type of masculinity - a hard drinking, womanizing, quick to fight, veteran (a regular "man's man") - so it's no surprise that he was such a frequent topic of admiration. David M. Earle studies these magazines as artifacts of their time, analyzing them for what they can tell us about the people and culture that created them. This is no easy task when considering the two topics - Hemingway and the 1950s - are so heavily idolized in our culture. I find a lot of these men's magazines hard to stomach, but I appreciated Earle's effort to bring them nuance. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Hemingway as viewed through the lens of men's pulp magazinesDuring the 1950s, Hemingway was in two plane crashes, won a Nobel Prize, published a best-selling novel, and had five movies released based on his work. He had always been a public figure, but during these years his fame rose to that of celebrity.Splashed on the pages of men's magazines were articles titled "Hemingway, Rogue Male," "Hemingway: America's No 1 He-Man," "Hemingway: War, Women, Wine, and Words," and "Hemingway: King of the Vulgar Words and Seduction." These articles appeared not in the mainstream men's magazines like Esquire, Field & Stream, and Playboy, but in the pulp men's adventure magazines of Vagabond, Rogue, Modern Man, Male, Bachelor, Sir Knight!, and Gent. Kitschy, extreme, and often misogynistic, these magazines capture the hyper-masculinity of the postwar decade. And Hemingway was portrayed as a role model in all of them.Using these overlooked and sensational magazines, David M. Earle explores the popular image of Ernest Hemingway in order to consider the dynamics of both literary celebrity and midcentury masculinity. Profusely illustrated with magazine covers, article blurbs, and advertisements in full color, All Man! considers the role that visuality played in the construction of Hemingway's reputation, as well as conveys a lurid and largely overlooked genre of popular publishing. More than just a contribution to Hemingway studies, All Man! is an important addition to scholarship in the modernist era in American literature, gender studies, popular culture, and the history of publishing.
