Scott Fitzgerald is considered one of the most important fiction writers of the twentieth century, even though he did not make any technical or theoretical contributions to the field. Instead, he is remembered for recording "American Zeitgeist" between the two World Wars and for being one of the few serious authors to achieve celebrity status even among ordinary readers. Collected here is his entire body of work, from his best known novels such as THE GREAT GATSBY and TENDER IS THE NIGHT to his lesser known short stories like "The Baby Party" and "Absolution." A truly stunning and scarce collection. Volume ! with an essay by J.B. Priestley, Volumes V and VI (the short stories) selected and introduced by Malcolm Cowley. Seller Inventory # 33726
