An annotated list of characters supplies brief information on the chief characters in the work.A selection of critical extracts, derived from previously published material from leading critics, then follows. The extracts consist of statements by the author on his work, early reviews of the work, and later evaluations down to the present day. The items are arranged chronologically by date of first publication. A bibliography of Hemingway's writings (including a complete listing of all books he wrote, co-wrote, edited, and translated in his lifetime, and important posthumous publications), a list of additional books and articles on him and on A Farewell to Arms, and an index of themes conclude the volume.
