F. Scott Fitzgerald

On the occasion of the celebration of Gatsby’s centenary, selected essays by major Fitzgerald scholars from both sides of the Atlantic present stimulating new readings of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s work — from his most famous novels, The Great Gatsby and Tender Is the Night, to slightly less high-profile autobiographical narratives. A hundred years after its original publication, The Great Gatsby, a commercial failure in Fitzgerald’s time, which never brought him the recognition he had hoped for, powerfully attracts and inspires scholars. The international contributions in this volume offer novel insights and engaging interpretations which provide the reader with new assessments of Fitzgerald’s work. The collection thus pays homage to the iconic American writer, who has become an inexhaustible source of inspiration for readers around the world.
