The Composition of Tender Is the Night: Tenement House Reform in New York City, 1890-1917

Autor Professor Matthew J. Bruccoli
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 oct 1963
Working with the complete collection of Tender is the Night manuscripts in the Princeton University Library, Matthew J. Bruccoli reconstructs seventeen drafts and three versions of the novel to answer questions about F. Scott Fitzgerald’s major work that have long puzzled critics of modern literature.

In 1934, nine years after the appearance of The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald permitted publication of Tender is the Night. Disappointed by its critical reception, Fitzgerald suggested that the structure of the novel should be drastically rearranged. In 1951, eleven years after his death, Charles Scribner’s Sons brought out an edition that incorporated Fitzgerald’s changes. Controversy arose over the merits of the two published versions and over the “nine lost years” in Fitzgerald’s life between his two great novels, years of rewriting before publication of Tender is the Night that resulted in six cartons of notes and drafts. After analyzing this wealth of material, Bruccoli reconstructs every working stage in the novel and reaches his own conclusions about which edition is the most valid.

Recenzii

“Its extremely careful and accurate reconstruction of the composition of Tender Is the Night is not only fascinating as a case study of an author’s struggles in putting together a novel, but it is also—and this is Bruccoli’s main point—convincing testimony that Fitzgerald was not simply a natural talent.”
