F. Scott Fitzgerald began composing Tender Is the Night in the
summer of 1925, but he struggled with the novel and reworked it
intensively over the next nine years. A study of the disintegration
of a talented young American psychiatrist, set among wealthy
American expatriates living in Europe after the First World War,
the novel, finally published in 1934, is now considered one of his
major works. Fitzgerald saved a great many of his working materials
- notes, diagrams, holographs, typescripts, proofs and
correspondence - making it possible to reconstruct in detail the
passage of Tender Is the Night from manuscript to print. The
Cambridge edition follows the order of the first edition; it
includes a history of composition, an analysis of Fitzgerald's plan
for republication and an explanation of the chronology of the
narrative. The edition also contains full historical annotations,
facsimiles of surviving drafts and a record of emendations.
