Abstract: This paper examines how Ernest Hemingway’s A Farewell to Arms mirrors life and existence under the umbrella term - modernism. This is achieved by carefully exploring the tenets of the term modernism and various arguments of various scholars especially as it relates to Literature. Attempt is therefore made to situate A Farewell to Arms within this movement, focusing the on the life of Hemingway and how if bears great influence on the novel, his characters, thematic import and his deployment of style and language. The paper uses New Historicism as a framework to exploring issues of modernism that Hemingway mirrors in the novel.
