Scott Fitzgerald http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/F._Scott_Fitzgerald Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald (Saint Paul, Minnesota, 24 de septiembre de 1896 - Hollywood, California, 21 de diciembre de 1940), fue un novelista estadounidense de la «época del jazz». Su obra es el reflejo, desde una elevada óptica literaria, de los problemas de la juventud de su país en los años que siguieron a la Primera Guerra Mundial. En sus novelas expresa el desencanto de los privilegiados jóvenes de su generación que arrastraban su lasitud entre el jazz y la ginebra (A este lado del paraíso, 1920), en Europa en la Costa Azul (Suave es la noche, 1934), o en el fascinante decorado de las ciudades estadounidenses (El gran Gatsby, 1925). Su extraordinaria Suave es la noche, narra el ascenso y caída de Dick Diver, un joven psicoanalista, condicionado por Nicole, su mujer y su paciente. El eco doloroso de la hospitalización de su propia mujer, Zelda, diagnosticada esquizofrénica en 1932, es manifiesto. Este libro define el tono más denso y sombrío de su obra, perceptible en muchos escritos autobiográficos finales.

My father wrote this in my first autograph book. If he had been alive, he would have been very happy to see this dissertation, particularly because it was a challenge for me in many ways: Firstly, I decided to do M.Phil almost two decades after my M.A., and secondly, the subject was such that even the primary sources were not available at hand. When I was searching for a topic, I came across an article in one of the Dailies on the 50th death anniversary of F.Scott Fitzgerald. Since he was comparatively new to mc particularly with regard to his short stories, I decided to have a tryst with 'the legend', the 'Prince Charming of the Jazz Age', and pay him a tribute in my own humble way.

  • F. Scott Fitzgerald's Ledger, 1919–1938
    F. SCOTT FITZGERALD’S LEDGER TRANSCRIPTION PAGE 1 F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Ledger, 1919–1938 F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Ledger is one of the richest primary source documents in existence for any literary author. Fitzgerald began recording information in this business ledger sometime in 1919 or 1920 after leaving the Army and moving to New York to begin his professional life as a writer. Fitzgerald divided the Ledger into five sections: “Record of Published Fiction,” “Money Earned by Writing since Leaving Army,” “Published Miscelani (including movies) for which I was Paid,” “Zelda’s Earnings,” and “Outline Chart of my Life”. The “Record of Published Fiction” and “Published Miscelani” are spreadsheets listing everything he wrote and its publication history up to the time of its final disposition. He meticulously tracked his earnings from 1919 through 1937 in the section titled “Money Earned by Writing since Leaving Army.” In addition, he recorded Zelda’s earnings from her writing. In the autobiographical section, “Outline Chart of my Life,” he provided background about his early years but later included monthly entries for each year. F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Ledger is part of the Matthew J. and Arlyn Bruccoli Collection of F. Scott Fitzgerald held by the Irvin Department of Rare Books and Special Collections, located in the Ernest F. Hollings Special Collections Library at the University of South Carolina in Columbia, S.C. The digital version of the Ledger, which includes access to the full text and is keyword-searchable, was produced by the staff of the Digital Collections Department of the University of South Carolina.

SCOTT FITZGeraLD IN CONTEXT The fiction of F. Scott Fitzgerald serves as a compelling and inci- sive chronicle of the Jazz Age and Depression eras. This collection explores the degree to which Fitzgerald was in tune with, and keenly observant of, the social, historical, and cultural contexts of the 1920s and 1930s. Original essays from forty international scholars survey a wide range of critical and biographical scholarship published on Fitzgerald, examining how it has evolved in relation to critical and cultural trends. The essays also reveal the micro-contexts that have particular relevance for Fitzgerald’s work – from the literary tradi- tions of naturalism, realism, and high modernism to the emergence of youth culture and prohibition, early twentieth-century fashion, architecture and design, and Hollywood – underscoring the full extent to which Fitzgerald internalized the world around him.

    F. Scott Fitzgerald Born in St. Paul, Minnesota September 24, 1896 Died December 21, 1940 Genre Fiction, Short Stories Influences John Keats, Sherwood Anderson, Edith Wharton Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald was an American writer of novels and short stories, whose works have been seen as evocative of the Jazz Age, a term he himself allegedly coined. He is regarded as one of the greatest twentieth century writers. Fitzgerald was of the self-styled "Lost Generation," Americans born in the 1890s who came of age during World War I. He finished four novels, left a fifth unfinished, and wrote dozens of short stories that treat themes of youth, despair, and age. He was married to Zelda Fitzgerald. Major Works* Novels. This Side of Paradise (1920) This Side of Paradise, F. Scott Fitzgerald's romantic and witty first novel, was written when the author was only twenty-three years old. This semiautobiographical story of the handsome, indulged, and idealistic Princeton student Amory Blaine received critical raves and catapulted Fitzgerald to instant fame. The Beautiful and Damned (1922) The Beautiful and the Damned is the story of Harvard-educated, aspiring aesthete Anthony Patch and his beautiful wife, Gloria. As they await the inheritance of his grandfather's fortune, their reckless marriage sways under the influence of alcohol and avarice. A devastating look at the nouveau riche and New York nightlife, as well as the ruinous effects of wild ambition, The Beautiful and the Damned achieved stature as one of Fitzgerald's most accomplished novels. The Great Gatsby (1925) The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s third book, stands as the supreme achievement of his career.

Fitzgerald’s connection to Ireland, much like Raymond Chandler’s, is a natural and deep one. Fitzgerald is, of course, from Irish-American lineage (what he tells O’Hara in a letter is “half black Irish,” although his Fitzgeralds hail from near Enniskillen in Ulster), but his connections to Irish expatriates, like James Joyce, and a kind of intangibly nostalgic vanished Irish culture offer a diverse and rich bond to Ireland itself. We were incredibly pleased to see participants from across the globe— coming in from Georgia to Japan—to make this a truly international experience. The conference was lucky enough to receive proposals on virtually all aspects of Fitzgerald’s life and work that focus on the Irish influences on or aspects of his writing and career.
