Ex Library (Baltimore County Public Library.) Last checked out from the Towson Area Branch on April 25, 1985. F. Scott Fitzgerald (Revised Edition) by Kenneth Eble Kenneth Eble’s Revised Edition of his classic 1963 study brings fresh insights and updated research to one of America’s most beloved modernist writers. Key features include: Expanded Biography: Eble integrates newly discovered letters and archival material to deepen our understanding of Fitzgerald’s personal struggles—his fraught marriage to Zelda, bouts of alcoholism, and quest for status in both New York and Hollywood. Reassessed Criticism: Building on his original readings, Eble offers revised analyses of Fitzgerald’s major works—from This Side of Paradise and The Great Gatsby to Tender Is the Night—highlighting their evolving reception and the author’s shifting narrative techniques. New Preface and Epilogue: The author reflects on Fitzgerald’s posthumous reputation, the resurgence of his popularity in late 20th-century scholarship, and how modern perspectives on gender, class, and the American Dream reshape our reading of his novels and short stories. Thematic Threads: Eble emphasizes recurring motifs—illusion versus reality, wealth and corruption, the passage of time—and situates Fitzgerald within the broader Jazz Age milieu, showing how his lyrical style captures both the era’s glamour and its underlying anxieties. Literary Context: Placing Fitzgerald alongside contemporaries like Hemingway and Eliot, the study examines his contributions to modernist form and his influence on subsequent generations of writers. Clear, engaging, and richly documented, this Revised Edition remains an essential guide for students and fans seeking a concise yet authoritative portrait of Fitzgerald’s life, art, and enduring legacy.…
