Twice during the last decade of his life, in 1934 and 1936, F.
Scott Fitzgerald proposed a collection of his personal essays to
Maxwell Perkins, his editor at Charles Scribner's Sons. Perkins was
unenthusiastic on both occasions, and Fitzgerald died in 1940
without having put his best essays between hard covers. Fortunately
Fitzgerald left behind a table of contents, and with this list as a
guide it has been possible to publish here the collection that he
envisioned, under the title My Lost City. This volume, first
published in 2005, also includes several of Fitzgerald's
autobiographical writings. My Lost City, like the other volumes in
the Cambridge Edition, provides accurate texts based on
Fitzgerald's surviving manuscripts and typescripts. Words and
passages cut by magazine editors have been restored to several of
the essays. A textual apparatus has been included, along with full
explanatory notes identifying people, places, books, historical
events, and other details.
