Abstract
xBiographers have always credited Jane Heap with commissioning Hemingway's contribution to The Little Review's "Exiles" issue (Spring 1923). But much evidence points to Ezra Pound, coeditor of the magazine and Hemingway's mentor in modernism at the time. This commission, eliciting the first glimmers of the "Hemingway style" in six experimental prose pieces, fed into Pound's commission of a short book for his "Inquest" series, which produced Hemingway's in our time. Together, the two commissions show how decisively Pound influenced Hemingway's style and identity as an avant-garde writer.
