• As writers who chose voluntarily to live in exile, Ernest Hemingway and Lord Byron were sensitive to the archetypal nature of exile experience. They articulated this experience in their first major works, The Sun Also Rises and Childe Harold's Pilgrimage. Chapter One of this study develops the line of thought advanced by such early twentieth-century critics as Clifton Fadiman and Rosemary and Stephen Vincent Benet, who noticed the relationship, both biographical and literary, between Byron and Hemingway, as typified by their common fascination with foreign travel, artistic isolation, and acts of heroism. These biographical and literary aspects will be considered along with the notions of exile that have been advanced by other critics, such as Charles Zwingmann and Maria Pfister-Ammende, Michael Seidel, and John Hagopian, whose combined concepts will be distilled in order to produce a definition of the exile archetype.
