The Beautiful and Damned, first published by Scribner''s in 1922, is F. Scott Fitzgerald''s second novel. It explores and portrays New York caf� society and the American Eastern elite during the Jazz Age before and after "the Great War" and in the early 1920s. As in his other novels, Fitzgerald''s characters in this novel are complex, especially with respect to marriage and intimacy. The work is generally considered to have drawn upon and be based on Fitzgerald''s relationship and marriage with his wife Zelda Fitzgerald.Plot summary:The Beautiful and Damned tells the story of Anthony Patch, a 1910s socialite and presumptive heir to a tycoon''s fortune, and his courtship and relationship with his wife Gloria Gilbert. It describes his brief service in the Army during World War I, and the couple''s post-war partying life in New York, and his later alcoholism. Gloria and Anthony''s love story is much more than just a couple falling in love. Their story deals with the hardships of a relationship, especially when each character has a tendency to be selfish. Joanna Stolarek suggests, Fitzgerald draws on "Zelda, the object of the writer''s literary passion" (Stolarek et al. 53).[4]Toward the end of the novel, Fitzgerald sums up the plot and his intentions in writing it somewhat, even referencing his own first novel, when a financially successful writer friend tells Anthony:"You know these new novels make me tired. My God! Everywhere I go some silly girl asks me if I''ve read ''This Side of Paradise''. Are our girls really like that? If it''s true to life, which I don''t believe, the next generation is going to the dogs. I''m sick of all this shoddy realism. I think there''s a place for the romanticist in literature."Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald (September 24, 1896 - December 21, 1940), known professionally as F. Scott Fitzgerald, was an American novelist and short story writer, whose works illustrate the Jazz Age. While he achieved limited success in his lifetime, he is now widely regarded as one of the greatest American writers of the 20th century. Fitzgerald is considered a member of the "Lost Generation" of the 1920s. He finished four novels: This Side of Paradise, The Beautiful and Damned, The Great Gatsby, and Tender Is the Night. A fifth, unfinished novel, The Last Tycoon, was published posthumously. Fitzgerald also authored 4 collections of short stories, as well as 164 short stories in magazines during his lifetime.Early life:Born in 1896 in Saint Paul, Minnesota, to an upper middle class family, Fitzgerald was named after his famous second cousin, three times removed on his father''s side, Francis Scott Key, but was always known as plain Scott Fitzgerald. He was also named after his deceased sister, Louise Scott Fitzgerald,one of two sisters who died shortly before his birth. "Well, three months before I was born," he wrote as an adult, "my mother lost her other two children ... I think I started then to be a writer."His father was Edward Fitzgerald, of Irish and English ancestry, who had moved to St. Paul from Maryland after the Civil War, and was described as "a quiet gentlemanly man with beautiful Southern manners." His mother was Mary "Molly" McQuillan Fitzgerald, the daughter of an Irish immigrant who had made his fortune in the wholesale grocery business.Edward Fitzgerald was the first cousin once removed of Mary Surratt, hanged in 1865 for conspiring to assassinate Abraham Lincoln.Scott Fitzgerald spent the first decade of his childhood primarily in Buffalo, New York, occasionally in West Virginia (1898-1901 and 1903-1908) where his father worked for Procter & Gamble, with a short interlude in Syracuse, New York, (between January 1901 and September 1903).Edward Fitzgerald had earlier worked as a wicker furniture salesman; he joined Procter & Gamble when the business failed....

ONCE AGAIN TO ZELDA The Great Gatsby is a 1925 novel by American writer F. Scott Fitzgerald. Set in the Jazz Age on Long Island, the novel depicts narrator Nick Carraway''s interactions with mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby and Gatsby''s obsession to reunite with his former lover, Daisy Buchanan. A youthful romance Fitzgerald had with socialite Ginevra King and the riotous parties he attended on Long Island''s North Shore in 1922 inspired the novel. Following a move to the French Riviera, he completed a rough draft in 1924. He submitted the draft to editor Maxwell Perkins, who persuaded Fitzgerald to revise the work over the following winter. After his revisions, Fitzgerald was satisfied with the text, but remained ambivalent about the book''s title and considered several alternatives. The final title he desired was Under the Red, White, and Blue. Painter Francis Cugat''s final cover design impressed Fitzgerald who incorporated a visual element from the art into the novel. After its publication by Scribner''s in April 1925, The Great Gatsby received generally favorable reviews, although some literary critics believed it did not equal Fitzgerald''s previous efforts and signaled the end of the author''s literary achievements. Gatsby was a commercial failure that sold fewer than 20,000 copies by October, and Fitzgerald''s hopes of a monetary windfall from the novel were unrealized. When the author died in 1940, he believed himself to be a failure and his work forgotten. After his death, the novel faced a critical and scholarly re-examination amid World War II, and it soon became a core part of most American high school curricula and a focus of American popular culture. Numerous stage and film adaptations followed in the subsequent decades. Gatsby continues to attract popular and scholarly attention. The novel was most recently adapted to film in 2013 by director Baz Luhrmann, while contemporary scholars emphasize the novel''s treatment of social class, inherited wealth compared to those who are self-made, race, environmentalism, and its cynical attitude towards the American dream. As with other works by Fitzgerald, criticisms include allegations of antisemitism. The Great Gatsby is widely considered to be a literary masterwork and a contender for the title of the Great American Novel.
