Abstract: Harold Bloom makes a unique review of Hemingway's writing and his style from the viewpoint of the intertextuality and aesthetic subjectivity. He holds that Hemingway created many classic short stories with the style of simplicity, leaving a deep influence on the world literature. His ability for short stories could be as good, if not better, as that of any other writers in the world like Guy de Maupassant. However, Bloom also states that Hemingway did not perform as well in his writing of novels. Bloom's view constitutes a new direction in Hemingway criticism. Through the review of Bloom's critical comments on Hemingway and his style, this paper concludes that Hemingway's study could reach a higher level if Bloom's commentaries could be integratedly with the traditional Hemingway's criticism.
