Reflection Statement
Reflection Statement “If they [my creations] are good, they will come to light one day.” - Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald5 My major work takes the form of a historical fiction which fuses real and imagined moments from the life of Zelda Fitzgerald, whom I use as a surrogate for the experiences of ‘silenced women’ in history. Thus, the narrative also functions to vindicate Zelda Fitzgerald as a talented and worthy artist, separate from the confines of her marriage with F. Scott Fitzgerald. By dismantling her memories of their life together and excavating her brief writings in a personal, empowering piece of historical fiction, I explore the issues of authorship and jealousy that permeated the golden couple. In doing so, I seek to elucidate Zelda's creativity and humanise her in a manner which other texts fail to. The ironic title, A Beautiful Little Fool, serves my purpose in a two-fold manner; alluding to the demeaning perception of Zelda I seek to overturn whilst appropriating one of the most famous quotes Scott plagiarised from Zelda. Through my work, I hope to contribute to a wider discourse on female empowerment, pertinent in the epoch of #MeToo, giving voice to women and particularly paying homage to the unrecognised wives of other literary greats. Conceptually, my early ideas were seeded in the Preliminary English Advanced unit "Reading to Write," specifically in the study of F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby.6 Intrigued by his extravagant writing style and the apparent glamour of the 1920s celebrity lifestyle, I undertook brief research on how his context inspired the content and characters of 5 Seidel, Kathryn Lee, Alexis Wang, and Alvin Y.

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.

Jordan Baker, Gender Dissent, and Homosexual Passing in the Great Gatsby
81 Jordan Baker, Gender Dissent, and Homosexual Passing in The Great Gatsby Maggie Gordon Froehlich Penn State Hazleton Jordan Baker instinctively avoided clever shrewd men . because she felt safer on a plane where any divergence from a code would be thought im- possible. She was incurably dishonest. She wasn’t able to endure being at a disadvantage, and given this unwillingness I suppose she had begun deal- ing in subterfuges when she was very young in order to keep that cool insolent smile turned to the world and yet satisfy the demands of her hard jaunty body. --F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby (63) Nearly every early twentieth-century American social bias is represented in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby (1925). We see such bias in nar- rator Nick Carraway’s ruminations on class and on women, in the rumors of criminality surrounding the newly rich Jay Gatsby, and, most explicitly, in the racism, classism, anti-Semitism, and anti-immigrant sentiment es- poused by Tom Buchanan, whose wealth, race, and gender position him as the voice of the dominant ideology. Tom’s reading of “The Rise of the Colored Empire” by “that man Goddard” (17) is, of course, a reference to Lothrop Stoddard’s The Rising Tide of Color Against White World Supremacy, a popular work of scientific racism published just five years before Gatsby.1 Largely following Walter Benn Michaels’ reading of The Great Gatsby in the historical context of early-twentieth-century nativism, recent critics have interpreted Fitzgerald’s allusion to racialist discourse as a linking of class with race, perceiving the narrative of social mobility as representing a kind of “passing [which] is figuratively rendered in terms of racial black- ness” (Lewis 174).
