F. Scott Fitzgerald: The Great Gatsby

By: Tredell, Nicolas

Book Overview

In this readers' guide, Nicolas Tredell introduces and sets in context the key critical debates surrounding a novel about which more critical material exists than any other work of American fiction.

Considering secondary sources from the 20s to the present, the Guide offers readers an invaluable resource for the study of this complex rendering of a moment in American history.
