  • Zelda Fitzgerald Biography
    Zelda Fitzgerald by Erin E Templeton Zelda Sayre was born with the new century in July 1900. A Southern belle through and through, she grew up with a generation of young women who strove to be independent and audacious, reckless and rebellious. She fell in love with F Scott Fitzgerald, a lieutenant in the Army, who was stationed just outside her home town of Montgomery, Alabama just as he was about to be sent overseas to fight in the Great War. When the Armistice was signed on the cusp of his deployment, there was both relief and disappointment. The young couple’s grand wartime romance fizzled out under the banality of a regular job as his dream of becoming the Next Great American Novelist was frustrated by multiple manuscript rejections. Meanwhile, Zelda continued to flirt and dance and date eligible men from across the South. Charles Scribner’s and Sons accepted This Side of Paradise for publication in October 1919. Only then did Zelda hear from her former beau: the soldier turned ad-man turned author- to-be. He asked if he might come south to visit her. She agreed to see him, and before the weekend had ended, the couple had renewed their romance and were once again engaged to be married. Zelda’s family, however, would not formally announce the engagement of their youngest daughter until the following spring, in early March 1920. From that point forward, Zelda’s life changed quickly and completely. This Side of Paradise was published on 26 March and a week later, on 3 April, Zelda Sayre married F Scott Fitzgerald in the rectory of St Patrick’s Cathedral, New York, having left her beloved South for the first time just days earlier.

  • The Curious Life of F. Scott Fitzgerald
    Published on Great Writers Inspire (http://writersinspire.org) Home > The Curious Life of F. Scott Fitzgerald The Curious Life of F. Scott Fitzgerald F. Scott Fitzgerald [1] (1896-1940) was born on 24 September 1896 to a salesman father and an Irish- Catholic mother who was the heir to a successful Minnesota grocery store. The F. Scott of F. Scott Fitzgerald stands for Francis Scott; he was named for his distant cousin, the writer of the poem that became the lyrics to American national anthem. Until 1908 the family moved throughout upstate New York, but when his father lost his job the Fitzgeralds moved to St. Paul, Minnesota. [2] F Scott Fitzgerald circa 1920 [Public domain], via Wikimedia Commons Scott, as family and friends knew him, had his first story published when he was 13 - a detective story printed in the school newspaper. After his expulsion for lack of academic effort, he boarded at Newman School, a Catholic school in New Jersey. After graduation in 1913, he attended Princeton University, where he wrote articles for the college humour magazine, stories for the literary magazine, and scripts for the musicals of the Triangle Club. However, again he neglected his studies; in 1917 he was placed on academic probation, and he dropped out of Princeton to join the army. Shortly before reporting for duty Fitzgerald wrote his first novel, The Romantic Egoist, and although the publisher rejected it, Fitzgerald was encouraged to submit later works. Zelda While posted to Camp Sheridan in Alabama, then Second Lieutenant Fitzgerald met Zelda Sayre, daughter of an Alabama Supereme Court judge and society darling.
