The Letters of Ernest Hemingway: Volume 1 1907-1922

Edited by Sandra Spanier and Robert W. Trogden. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2011. Both unclipped dust jacket and hardcover are in Near Fine condition. No writing or markings found in the book, 431 pp. This is volume 1/6 with an expected 18 book series to be published. 

This beautifully produced scholarly volume is the first installment in the monumental Hemingway Letters Project, an 18-volume series designed to publish every known surviving letter by Ernest Hemingway. Only six volumes have been released to date, and early volumes have become increasingly collectible due to limited print runs and strong interest from scholars and collectors.

Volume 1 covers Hemingway’s youth, early journalism, friendships, and formative creative years—documenting the evolution of his voice before In Our Time and The Sun Also Rises. The editors Sandra Spanier and Robert W. Trogden provide extensive annotations, historical context, and a definitive scholarly framework.

A must-have reference for any Hemingway collection, modern literature library, or scholar working in American modernism.

Perfect for collectors who appreciate high-quality academic editions and early material related to Ernest Hemingway’s life and work.
