The Cambridge Introduction to F. Scott Fitzgerald Paperback / softback
by Kirk (Troy State University Montgomery, Alabama) Curnutt
Part of the Cambridge Introductions to Literature series
Paperback / softback
Description
Although F. Scott Fitzgerald remains one of the most recognizable literary figures of the twentieth century, his legendary life - including his tempestuous romance with his wife and muse Zelda - continues to overshadow his art.
However glamorous his image as the poet laureate of the 1920s, he was first and foremost a great writer with a gift for fluid, elegant prose.
This introduction reminds readers why Fitzgerald deserves his preeminent place in literary history.
It discusses not only his best-known works, The Great Gatsby (1925) and Tender Is the Night (1934), but the full scope of his output, including his other novels and his short stories.
This book introduces new readers and students of Fitzgerald to his trademark themes, his memorable characters, his significant plots, the literary modes and genres from which he borrowed, and his inimitable style.
