F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby Tender Is The Night (Paperback - 2016)

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
■ the methods of analysis and offers suggestions for further work.
Pad 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.
