by F. Scott Fitzgerald (Author)
The Rise and Fall of the American Dream.
Since its publication in 1925, F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel The Great Gatsby has served as a cultural marker for The American Dream. Ironically, the dream so deftly described in the novel turned, in the end, into a portrait of vanity, greed, disappointment, and death.
In this edition, Michael Elliott, PhD, offers an introduction to the novel and its historical context, along with a study guide for first-time readers of this classic exploration of the American Dream.
