“Retrospective Radicalism” argues that when Hemingway’s A Farewell to Arms is deeply historicized, its embedded political allegory becomes visible. The submerged part of the text’s “iceberg” includes the years 1918–1929, when the possibility for a left revolution in Italy was defeated by the consolidation of fascism. Hemingway’s political radicalism is expressed in Farewell’ s references to Turin, Rome, Imola, and the Abruzzo, the vampirism of finance capital, and the problematic neutrality of a “separate peace.” Underlying this analysis is a rehistoricization of Hemingway’s role as a Red Cross volunteer in defeating the very revolution he later claimed to have desired, signaled by the novel’s closing with the death of the baby.

回顾激进主义：欧内斯特·海明威《告别武器》中的政治和历史

“回顾激进主义”认为，当海明威的《告别武器》被深度历史化时，其内嵌的政治寓言就变得可见。文本“冰山”被淹没的部分包括 1918-1929 年，当时意大利发生左翼革命的可能性被法西斯主义的巩固所挫败。海明威的政治激进主义体现在《告别》中提到都灵、罗马、伊莫拉和阿布鲁佐，金融资本的吸血鬼，以及“单独和平”的问题中立。这种分析的基础是对海明威作为红十字志愿者在击败他后来声称所渴望的革命方面所扮演的角色的重新历史化，这标志着小说随着婴儿的死亡而结束。
