The Great Gatsby is widely regarded as one of the masterpieces of
American fiction. It tells of the mysterious Jay Gatsby's grand
effort to win the love of Daisy Buchanan, the rich girl who
embodies for him the promise of the American dream. Deeply romantic
in its concern with self-making, ideal love, and the power of
illusion, it draws on modernist techniques to capture the spirit of
the materialistic, morally adrift, post-war era Fitzgerald dubbed
"the jazz age." Gatsby's aspirations remain inseparable from the
rhythms and possibilities suggested by modern consumer culture,
popular song, the movies; his obstacles inseparable from
contemporary American anxieties about social mobility, racial
mongrelization, and the fate of Western civilization. This
Broadview edition sets the novel in context by providing readers
with a critical introduction and crucial background material about
the consumer culture in which Fitzgerald was immersed; about the
spirit of the jazz age; and about racial discourse in the 1920s.
