This book was released on 2007-06-01 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing together established Fitzgerald scholars from the United Kingdom, Europe and North America, this collection offers eleven new readings of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s 1934 novel, Tender is the Night. While The Great Gatsby continues to attract more attention than the rest of Fitzgerald’s oeuvre combined, persistent, if infrequent, writings on Tender is the Night from the 1950s onwards indicate that, like Gatsby’s green light, Fitzgerald’s fourth novel continues both to perplex and intrigue. In addition to the inevitable biographical interpretations, the novel has, in myriad readings, been viewed as: a marriage novel, a text of disturbed psychology, a text nostalgically marking the passing of a talent and a time, an outdated “Jazz Age” story, and “the great novel about American history”. This new collection of essays opens criticism of Tender Is the Night to a new generation of scholars providing new ways for readers to appreciate this complex, compelling, and profound work.Contributors include editors of the F. Scott Fitzgerald Review, the general editor of the Cambridge Edition of Writings of F. Scott Fitzgerald, members of the Fitzgerald Society Executive, and the directors of the biennial F. Scott Fitzgerald conference. The book will be published to coincide with the biennial F. Scott Fitzgerald conference in July 2007.

Download or read book The Composition of Tender is the Night written by Matthew J. Bruccoli and published by University of Pittsburgh Pre. This book was released on 2010-11-23 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
Download or read book F Scott Fitzgerald s The Beautiful and Damned written by William Blazek and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2022-10-19 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: F. Scott Fitzgerald’s second novel, The Beautiful and Damned, has frequently been dismissed as an outlier and curiosity in his oeuvre, a transitional work from the coming-of-age plot of This Side of Paradise to the masterful critique of American aspiration in The Great Gatsby. The Beautiful and Damned belongs to a genre that is widely misunderstood, the “bright young things” novel in which spoiled and wealthy characters succumb to decay because of their privilege and lack of purpose. Set between 1913 and 1922, Fitzgerald’s longest novel touches on many of the decisive issues that mark the passage from the Gilded Age and the Progressive Era into the Jazz Age: conspicuous consumption, income inequality, yellow journalism, the Great War, the rise of the movie industry, automobile travel, Wall Street stock scams, immigration and xenophobia, and the fixation with youth and aging. Published to coincide with the novel’s centennial in 2022, this collection approaches The Beautiful and Damned for its insights more than its faults. Prominent Fitzgerald scholars analyze major themes and reveal unappreciated issues with attention to history, biography, literary influence, gender studies, and narratology. While acknowledging the novel’s shortcomings, the essayists illustrate that The Beautiful and Damned has much more to say about its milieu than previously recognized. This collection provides a guide for understanding Fitzgerald’s aims while demonstrating the richness of ideas that this novel explores, alongside the anxieties and ambitions that reverberate within it.

Scott Fitzgerald's last completed novel. The story, primarily about human deterioration, the disintegration of love and marriage, and the mental illness that both causes and results from these troubles, was conceived and written during what was perhaps the most difficult and painful period in Fitzgerald's life.In 1932, his wife Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald was hospitalized for schizophrenia (as was the character of Nicole Diver) in Baltimore, Maryland. In order to be close to his wife while he worked on his book, Fitzgerald rented the "La Paix" estate in a nearby Maryland suburb.This was to be his first published novel in nine years, and Fitzgerald ran out of cash several times before completing it, thus having to write short stories for magazines and borrowing money from his editor and agent to stay afloat.The novel's two main characters, Dick and Nicole Diver, were modeled after an American expatriate couple, Gerald and Sara Murphy, who lived on the French Riviera and with whom the Fitzgeralds were very close. The Murphys were a sophisticated and glamorous couple who entertained the Fitzgeralds as well as other prominent artists of the Lost Generation.Although the Divers resemble the Murphys with regard to their poise and charm, their marriage (and its downfall) more closely resembles the troubled marriage of the Fitzgeralds. Mental illness, alcoholism, growing emotional distance, and eventual separation are circumstances that defined both the real and the fictional relationships. The novel's title is taken from a line in a Keats poem, "Ode to a Nightingale," which resounds with similar themes of passion, mortality, and fading youth.The novel received mixed reviews upon its publication. Though many lauded its literary power and elegance, post-Depression Americans were less charmed by descriptions of decadence on the Riviera. Just as Fitzgerald's critics claimed that he was not a serious or responsible writer, so critics of his final novel felt that it was frivolous. Fitzgerald himself believed that the novel was flawed, and he wanted to re-write the final section. Despite its uncertain unveiling, Tender is the Night is currently hailed as an insightful account of aristocratic life and as a lyrical and intimate portrait of a troubled couple.Two versions of the novel are in print. The original 1934 version employs a flashback to present a portrait of the young Dick and Nicole and of the beginning of their relationship. The revised version (published posthumously in 1951) progresses in chronological order and was possibly Fitzgerald's reaction to criticism of the book's temporal structure following its initial publication.A 1962 film, Tender Is the Night, is based on the novel.
