Autor F. Scott Fitzgerald Editat de James L. W. West, III
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 10 feb 2010
F. Scott Fitzgerald had a busy and productive literary apprenticeship, writing in a great variety of genres. This volume contains his writings for the student magazine at his high schools and his Princeton writings for the Daily Princetonian, the Princeton Tiger, and the Nassau Literary Magazine. Of special note in this volume are the complete lyrics that Fitzgerald composed for three student musical comedies mounted by the Triangle Club at Princeton – Fie! Fie! Fi-Fi! (1914), The Evil Eye (1915), and Safety First! (1916). The volume includes a scholarly introduction, a record of variants and emendations, and numerous facsimiles and other illustrations. Explanatory notes identify the literary works, Broadway shows, movie queens, stage stars, politicians, historical figures, criminals, sports heroes, and popular songs referred to by Fitzgerald in these early writings.

Recenzii

'As usual, West's introduction is excellent in both its precision and economy.' The F. Scott Fitzgerald Review

Notă biografică

Francis Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940) was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, and educated at the Newman School and at Princeton. This Side of Paradise, his first novel, was published in 1920 to instant acclaim. He soon after married Zelda Sayre, and the two became the most famous American couple of the Jazz Age-as known for Fitzgerald's writing as their legendary debauchery. Until 1931 they divided their time among New York, Paris, and the Riviera. When they were forced by money and health problems to return to the States, Fitzgerald became a writer for Hollywood movie studios. He died in 1940 while working on his unfinished novel of Hollywood, The Last Tycoon. Fitzgerald published The Beautiful and Damned, his second novel, in 1922. His other works include Flappers and Philosophers (1920), Tales of the Jazz Age (1922), The Great Gatsby (1925), All the Sad Young Men (1926), Tender Is the Night (1934), and Taps at Reveille (1935).
