Abstract
Ernest Hemingway and Maxwell Perkins collaborated closely on the formation of his first collection of stories published by Scribner’s— Men Without Women . Based on an examination of manuscripts in the Hemingway Collection at the Kennedy Library, and of the correspondence preserved in the Scribner’s Archive at Princeton, this note traces the selection and ordering of the stories in Men Without Women . It focuses especially on “Now I Lay Me” and Perkins’s role in encouraging Hemingway not only to publish the story, but also to place it as the capstone of the collection.
