F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940), one of the preeminent voices in American literature, remains an enduring literary figure known for his narrative eloquence and his quintessential examination of the Jazz Age—an era that he, himself, named. Born Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald in Saint Paul, Minnesota, he attended Princeton University but left before graduation to join the United States Army during World War I. Fitzgerald's most celebrated work, 'The Great Gatsby' (1925), passionately evokes the opulence, decadence, and disillusionment of the 1920s. The novel is frequently praised for its piercing scrutiny of the American Dream and is considered by many to be the great American novel. It is through 'The Great Gatsby' that Fitzgerald's masterful prose style—marked by its clarity, precision, and ability to convey complex emotions—is most readily apparent. This novel, along with other works such as 'This Side of Paradise' (1920) and 'Tender Is the Night' (1934), cemented his legacy as a writer who could artfully balance poetic language with sharp social insight. His works have been subject to extensive analysis, and they continue to influence literary thought and popular culture. Although Fitzgerald struggled with alcoholism and financial difficulties in his later years, his posthumous reputation has grown, securing his place as a cornerstone in American literary history.
