F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940) F. Scott Fitzgerald was a self-made man who epitomized both the glory of the Jazz Age and the desperation of the aftermath of the 1929 stock market crash. Born and raised in St. Paul, Minnesota, Fitzgerald met and fell in love with Zelda Zayre when his army unit was stationed in Montgomery, Alabama. Zelda refused his marriage proposal, so Fitzgerald left for New York to win a fortune and Zelda's love. He succeeded with This Side of Paradise (1920), an instant critical and financial hit: Zelda married him a week after its release. The Fitzgeralds were extravagant beyond their means, partying and drinking into the night and using up all the proceeds from two short-story collections and a second novel, The Beautiful and the Damned (1922). They moved to France in 1924 living among the group of American expatriates that included Hemingway, Stein, and Pound and in 1925 Fitzgerald wrote his masterpiece

F. Scott Fitzgerald F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940) was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, but the Middle West was not the setting for any of his major works. After he entered New Jersey's socially prestigious Princeton University he tried to eradicate his origins, though he was unhappy at college in many ways and felt keenly his inferiority to such classmates as the brilliant literary critic Edmund Wilson, and to all those others who were born rich and born Easterners. When the United States entered World War I, he enlisted in the Army, and in a training camp in Alabama met Zelda, the Southern belle who became his wife and who was the model for most of the beautiful, gay heroines of his fiction. He became a writer to earn enough money to marry her, and his life with her furnished his greatest happiness as well as his greatest misery and pain. His first novel, This Side of Paradise , was published in 1920, the same year as Sinclair Lewis's Main Street , but the two novels reflect two completely different worlds. Fitzgerald's concerns the world of youth, excited though somewhat cynical, and the parties and love affairs of the rich and the would-be rich; Lewis' deals with solid middle-class citizens of Minnesota, where both writers were born not too many miles apart. Fitzgerald was the spokesman for youth; he sensed the romantic yearnings of the time, and the yearnings of the Jazz Age, and he put them into his fiction. By comparison, Lewis' young heroine seems old-fashioned. Stodgy and idealistic, not at all the "new" woman.

F. Scott Fitzgerald (PBS) Close this window to return to the list of reviews American Masters : “F. Scott Fitzgerald: Winter Dreams” (PBS) American Masters’ “F. Scott Fitzgerald: Winter Dreams” covers the rise and fall of a conflicted writer. From an early age, Fitzgerald (1896-1940) desired economic comfort and dreamed of a bourgeois lifestyle. Despite achieving this status through his skills as a writer, Fitzgerald remained just on the edge of enjoying his success. As the documentary stresses, his literary needs kept him an outsider looking in, a role he paradoxically claimed to covet. During the film’s first half I was fascinated by his wish to be in one world while remaining in another. I was impressed by the way Fitzgerald’s writing grew out this self-imposed role. However, once Fitzgerald’s life began to fall apart, around the publication of Tender Is the Night (1934), the documentary also began to fall apart. “Winter Dreams” starts with a passage from one of Fitzgerald’s letters, and right away we learn about his goals for economic success, his quest for the American Dream. The film quickly takes us through his Princeton years and subsequent departure, his military career, and finally slows down once he meets his future wife, Zelda Sayre. From here we get more details regarding Fitzgerald’s literary efforts, resulting in the publication of his first novel

The Plaza Hotel The Plaza, located on Fifth Avenue at Central Park South, opened its doors on October 1, 1907, amid a flurry of reports describing it as "the greatest hotel in the world." Located at Fifth Avenue and Central Park South, it was constructed in the most fashionable residential section of New York. The Plaza was the dream of financier Bernhard Beinecke, hotelier Fred Sterry, and Harry S. Black, president of a construction company. They purchased a 15-year-old hotel on the same site with the same name. The three men then decided to replace it with what they would proudly describe as "the most elegant hotel in the world." Construction was to take two years at a cost of $12,000,000, an unprecedented sum in those days. Henry Janeway Hardenbergh was one of the most famous and distinguished architects of the age. He designed The Plaza with all the pomp, glory, and opulence of a French Chateau. No cost was spared. Marble lobbies were created. The linen was exclusively designed and manufactured for The Plaza in Belfast, Ireland. Embroidered organdy curtains came from Switzerland. The largest single order in history for gold-encrusted china was placed, and no less than 1,650 crystal chandeliers were purchased. The hotel stands 19 stories high, in 1907 a veritable skyscraper. There are 815 rooms, including one, two and three-bedroom suites.

With the glamorous Zelda Sayre (1900-48), Fitzgerald lived a colorful life of parties and money-spending. At the beginning of one of his stories Fitzgerald wrote the rich "are different from you and me". This privileged world he depicted in such novels as THE BEAUTIFUL AND DAMNED (1922) and THE GREAT GATSBY (1925), which is widely considered Fitzgerald's finest novel. "It was my first inkling that he was a writer. And while I like writers - because if you ask a writer anything, you usually get an answer - still it belittled him in my eyes. Writers aren't people exactly. Or, if they're any good, they're a whole lot of people trying so hard to be one person. It's like actors, who try so pathetically not to look in mirrors. Who lean backward trying - only to see their faces in the reflecting chandeliers." (from The Last Tycoon

Scott Unfortunately, the Fitzgeralds lived far beyond their means and soon found themselves deeply in debt. They moved to Europe, hoping to cut back on expenses. There, they befriended other expatriate writers including Ernest Hemingway and Gertrude Stein. While in Europe, Fitzgerald finished his masterpiece, The Great Gatsby (1925). However, Europe proved no cheaper for the Fitzgeralds. Although Fitzgerald published dozens of short stories-178 in his lifetime, including an acclaimed collection entitled All the Sad Young Men-he did not produce another novel until almost a decade after The Great Gatsby was published. As the couple's debts mounted, Fitzgerald plunged into alcoholism and his wife became increasingly unstable. In 1930, Zelda suffered the first of several breakdowns and was institutionalized. She spent the rest of her life in a sanitarium. Fitzgerald's next novel, Tender is the Night (1934), failed to resonate with the American public, and Fitzgerald's fortunes plummeted. He chronicled his own mental and emotional breakdown in a book of essays entitled The Crack-Up (published after his death in 1945). In 1937, Fitzgerald moved to Hollywood to try screenwriting. He fell in love with Sheilah Graham, a prominent Hollywood gossip columnist, stopped drinking and began renewed literary efforts. While he lived with Graham in Los Angeles, he occasionally flew East to visit Zelda or their daughter, Scottie, then in college in New York. In 1940, while in the midst of writing a novel about Hollywood, The Last Tycoon, Fitzgerald died of a heart attack at the age of 44. The Last Tycoon was published posthumously in 1941.

He moved east to New York and entered the "bond business." Settling on the lowbudget side of Long Island in West Egg, Nick rented a bungalow next door to a mysterious, wealthy man-about-town known as Gatsby. Shortly after arriving in New York, Nick was invited to dinner at the house of Tom and Daisy Buchanan on the more-fashionable side of Lon 9 Island. Nick did not know either Tom or Daisy very well, but he was Daisy's second cousin and had attended Yale with Tom. Tom led Nick into a back room of the Buchanan house, where they found Daisy talking with her friend Jordan Baker, a haughty yet beautiful young woman who appeared to be "balancing something on her chin." By the time dinner was served on the porch, some untold tension was obviously building between Tom and

While stationed in Montgomery, Ala., he met and fell in love with Zelda Sayre, the daughter of a local judge. During this time, he also began working on his first novel, This Side of Paradise, which describes life at Princeton among the glittering, bored, and disillusioned, postwar generation. Published in 1920, the novel was an instant success and brought Fitzgerald enough money to marry Zelda that same year. The young couple moved to New York City, where they became notorious for their madcap lifestyle. Fitzgerald made money by writing stories for various magazines.

Not So Great Gatsby Titles On this day in 1924, feeling that he had finally found the ideal title for his new novel, F. Scott Fitzgerald enthusiastically wired his editor, Max Perkins, that he was "CRAZY ABOUT TITLE UNDER THE RED WHITE AND BLUE...." Not as crazy as her husband about this one, or about "The High Bouncing Lover," or " Among the Ash Heaps," Zelda (and Perkins) eventually talked him into The Great Gatsby Fitzgerald and Gatsby F. Scott Fitzgerald said that he received his theme early: "That was always my experience a poor boy in a rich town; a poor boy in a rich boy's school; a poor boy in a rich man's club at Princeton.... I have never been able to forgive the rich for being rich, and it has colored my entire life and works."

the JAZZ AGE COVER BY JOHN HELD JR. "They're all desperadoes, these kids, all of them with any life in their veins; the girls as well as the boys; maybe more than the boys." - from " Flaming Youth ," by Warner Fabian The flapper, whose antics were immortalized in the cartoons of John Held Jr., was the heroine of the Jazz Age. With short hair and a short skirt, with turned-down hose and powdered knees - the flapper must have seemed to her mother (the gentle Gibson girl of an earlier generation) like a rebel. No longer confined to home and tradition, the typical flapper was a young women who was often thought of as a little fast and maybe even a little brazen. Mostly, the flapper offended the older generation because she defied conventions of acceptable feminine behavior. The flapper was "modern." Traditionally, women's hair had always been worn long. The flapper wore it short, or bobbed. She used make-up (which she might well apply in public). And the flapper wore baggy dresses which often exposed her arms as well as her legs from the knees down. However, flappers did more than symbolize a revolution in fashion and mores - they embodied the modern spirit of the Jazz Age. LOUISE BROOKS

Unlike those around him, however, Fitzgerald had the mind to see the superficiality of the time. Belief in the 'American Dream' - that anyone can succeed with hard work and determination; the moral decadence and decline in spirituality of the Jazz Age were all challenged by his works.

His best-known novel, The Great Gatsby, made him an instant success and subjected both Fitzgerald and his wife, Zelda, to intense publicity.
