Description
The Great Gatsby and Tender is the Night are F. Scott Fitzgerald's best-known novels. They draw on Fitzgerald's own vivid experiences in the 1920s but transform them into art.

Part I of this indispensable study: . provides interesting and informed close readings of key passages . examines how each novel starts and ends . discusses key themes of society, money, gender and trauma . outlines the methods of analysis and offers suggestions for further work. Part II supplies essential background material, including: . an account of Fitzgerald's life . a survey of historical, cultural and literary contexts . samples of significant criticism. Also featuring a helpful Further Reading section, this volume equips readers with the critical and analytical skills which will enable them to enjoy and explore both novels for themselves.
