Product Description
Collections of early writings of famous writers can oftenbe dreary affairs, but F. Scott Fitzgerald's early work abounds withlife. Because he served such an unusually short apprenticeship hewrote his first, highly successful book, This Side of Paradise, soonafter graduating Princeton...his undergraduate work is of specialinterest. In fact, his college and professional writing careersoverlapped. Both This Side of Paradise and Flappers and Philosophers incorporated (with some reworking) some of the early Princeton storiesgathered in this volume. In this first complete and chronologicallysequenced collection of Fitzgerald's writings for two Princetonpublications, The Tiger and Nassau Lit, we can witness Fitzgerald'sdramatic growth. We can almost hear him find his voice as a writer. Opportunities to trace the development of style of so significant awriter are rare. These early works of his provide a mirror to histimes. His words and the often whimsical sampling!

Fitzgerald stands at center stage throughout this book, but some ofthe "supporting characters" are notable figures in their ownrights. Two of Fitzgerald's closes Princeton friends also opted forwriting careers: author/poet John Peale Bishop and Edmund "Bunny"Wilson, who was Fitzgerald's editor at Princeton and became hislifelong "literary conscience" not to mention the most importantliterary critic in America. These two names will be seen on themasthead of the Nassau Lit along with Fitzgerald's. Scholars will alsobe fascinated to note that key themes found in Fitzgerald's maturefiction come into focus in his undergraduate work. Heroes and heroinesrecognizably Fitzgeraldian populate these pages. And the abundantoriginal artwork culled from back issues of The Tiger and Nassau Litgives the book a delightful visual appeal found in no other Fitzgeraldbook. ... Read more

Product Description
Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald (1896-1940) was an Irish American Jazz Age novelist and short story writer. He is regarded as one of the greatest American writers of the twentieth century. He was the self-styled spokesman of the "Lost Generation" - Americans born in the 1890's who came of age during World War I. He finished four novels, left a fifth unfinished, and wrote dozens of short stories. The 1920's proved the most influential decade of Fitzgerald's development. His debut novel, This Side of Paradise (1920) examines the lives and morality of post-World War I youth. Flappers and Philosophers (1920) was his first collection of short stories. His second novel, The Beautiful and Damned (1922), demonstrates an evolution and maturity in his writing, and provides an excellent portrait of America during the Jazz Age, as does Tales of the Jazz Age (1922). The Great Gatsby, which many consider his masterpiece, was published in 1925. It has since been adapted for the theatre and filmed several times. His last novel was Tender is the Night (1934). ...
