Ruth Prigozy - The Cambridge Companion to F. Scott Fitzgerald

In this volume, eleven specially commissioned essays by major Fitzgerald scholars present a clearly written and comprehensive assessment of F. Scott Fitzgerald as a writer and as a public and private figure. No aspect of his career is overlooked, from his first novel published in 1920, through his more than 170 short stories, to his last unfinished Hollywood novel. Contributions present the reader with a full and accessible picture of the background of American social and cultural change in the early decades of the twentieth century. The introduction traces Fitzgeralds career as a literary and public figure, and examines the extent to which public recognition has affected his reputation among scholars, critics, and general readers over the past sixty years. This is the only volume that offers undergraduates, graduates, and general readers a full account of Fitzgeralds work as well as suggestions for further exploration of his work.

RUTH PRIGOZY is Professor of English at Hofstra University and Executive Director and co-founder of the F. Scott Fitzgerald Society. She is the author of F. Scott Fitzgerald: An Illustrated Life, editor of The Great Gatsby, This Side of Paradise, and co-editor of F. Scott Fitzgerald: New Perspectives. She has also written many articles on Fitzgerald, Hemingway, J. D. Salinger, D. W. Griffith, and Billy Wilder among others.
