A comprehensive biography. F. Scott Fitzgerald is primarily known
for his masterpiece, The Great Gatsby. He had fallen out of favour
by the time of his death in 1940, while Emest Hemingway attained
worldwide fame. But there has been a tremendous renewal of interest
in his works, and he is one of the most important writers in the
American canon. While there are other biographies of Fitzgerald,
this work meets the need of school students for a concise,
accessible, and informative survey of Fitzgerald's life and career.
Because Fitzgerald drew extensively from his own experiences, his
life is especially helpful in illuminating his works. This book
approaches his life and writings chronologically. It explores how
his parents and upbringing shaped his values, how he creatively
presented his life experiences in his fiction, and how he
participated in and influenced American culture during the Jazz Age
of the 1920s. The volume closes with a timeline and bibliography.
Part of the Greenwood Biographies series. Discusses Fitzgerald's
life in relation to his writings. Places Fitzgerald and his works
within their historical and cultural contexts.
