F. Scott Fitzgerald - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Fitzgerald began working on his fourth novel during the late 1920s but was sidetracked by financial difficulties that necessitated his writing commercial short stories, and the schizophrenia that struck Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald in 1930. Fitzgerald is regarded as one of the greatest American writers of the twentieth century. In 1932, she was hospitalized in Baltimore, Maryland, and Scott rented the "La Paix" estate in the suburb of Towson to work on his book, which had become the story of the rise and fall of Dick Diver, a promising young psychoanalyst and his wife, Nicole, who is also one of his patients. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/F._Scott_Fitzgerald   (1729 words)

Today in History: September 24 Named for his distant cousin Francis Scott Key, author of the "The Star-Spangled Banner," Fitzgerald was descended, on his father's side, from a long line of Marylanders.

Over the course of the next decade and a half, while struggling to cope with the demons of his alcoholism and her emerging mental illness, the Fitzgeralds enjoyed a life of literary celebrity among the American artists and writers who had expatriated to Paris after the First World War. memory.loc.gov /ammem/today/sep24.html   (577 words)

Hemingway met Scott Fitzgerald in the Dingo Bar in late April 1925, two weeks after the publication of The Great Gatsby and six months before the appearance of In Our Time SCOTT FITZGERALD." All was (more or less) forgiven when a correction appeared on December 8 and Hem- ingway, in a letter of January 4, 1930, blamed the story-though not the lapse in timekeeping-on Pierre Loving. Scott and Zelda had not yet begun their fatal decline--he into alco- holism, she into insanity-when Hemingway first met them, but he was sufficiently perceptive to see the signs of imminent disaster. Fitzgerald may have felt the need to humiliate himself before the intimidating Hemingway, but it is doubtful that he would risk the possi- bility of a devastating confirmation of Zelda's accusations. www.cwru.edu /artsci/engl/marling/HemFitz/Meyers1.html   (2036 words)

Enchanted Places Most of Fitzgerald's novels and stories start as a romance of love or a fantasy of extravagant glamour, but as the settings and the interplay between characters and the places they live are carefully examined, an emblem-like quality is discovered in their deceptively simple configuration. Through exploring the imagery of home, bars, schools, city, and Hollywood, Fitzgerald presents a panoramic view of the social and psychological landscape of his time, a view that is philosophically adequate and aesthetically satiating. Fitzgerald's use of these settings as a rich source of imagery objectifies social trends and individual desires. www.geocities.com /Athens/Olympus/2797/enchantedplaces.html   (371 words)

F. Scott Fitzgerald - Biography and Works Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940) is best known for his novels and short stories which chronicle the excesses of America's 'Jazz Age' during the 1920s.

Fitzgerald as Novelist Bryant Mangum Its importance in Fitzgerald's development as a novelist results from the novel's fusion of two kinds of quests: Amory Blaine is, on the one hand, a genteel, chivalric hero, entitled by birth and surrounded everywhere by affluence and grace. Fitzgerald himself partially credited his technical experimentation with point of view to his having read Joseph Conrad's preface to The Nigger of the Narcissus and the evolution in his thinking about western civilization to his exposure to Oswald Spengler's The Decline of the West. For Fitzgerald, a major challenge in handling Dick Diver's story is the technical one of making his character flaw credible and his tragic fall inevitable. bryant.mangum.com /fitznov.htm   (950 words)

LitKicks: F.Scott Fitzgerald Fitzgerald was always acutely aware of social class and the problems and benefits related to it, and this disillusionment with the society of Twenties America produced the socio-philosophical import behind his most brilliant novels.

It was whilst in France that Fitzgerald completed his greatest work, The Great Gatsby (1925). www.litkicks.com /BeatPages/page.jsp?what=FScottFitzgerald   (790 words)

An Introduction to the Novels of F. Scott Fitzgerald Fitzgerald's achievements rest on three obsessions which characterized him as an artist and as a man. The first of these was "his material." It included the subjects of youth, wealth, and beauty and was an outgrowth of his social background. For the origins of Fitzgerald's double vision, it is helpful to look at several ingredients of his early life, particularly at those facets of it which presented him with the polarities and ambiguities that would later furnish the subjects and themes of his art. Fitzgerald's Hollywood writing consisted mainly of collaborative efforts on scripts for films such as Gone with the Wind and Infidelity, although during his life and since his death there have been various screen adaptations of his novels and stories. www.people.vcu.edu /~bmangum/fitznovels.html   (6106 words)

Amazon.com: SHORT STORIES OF F. SCOTT FITZGERALD : A New Collection: Books: F. Scott Fitzgerald,Matthew J. Bruccoli Fitzgerald was a drunk, but he was an enormously talented drunk, and these stories prove it. Fitzgerald, just like every other writer, was writing about the environment he was familiar with. So much of Fitzgerald seems hopelessly dated, so much O. Henry-ized, so much twisted into easy magazine-acceptability that the occasionally brilliant sentence that Fitzgerald could always unexpectedly produce serves more as a gauge of the normal mediocrity of his imagination than the mark of any enduring value. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/068480445X?v=glance   (2375 words)
