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. This stimulating introductory guide analyses their accomplished style and their concern with the promise and perplexity of modern life. 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 • outlines the methods of analysis and offers suggestions for further work. Part 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.

Charles Dickens is the most famous and popular English author of the 19th century, and "Great Expectations" is often regarded as his finest work. The dramatic story of Pip's journey from high hopes to devastating disappointment offers profound insights into Victorian society and into the workings of human desire. In this guide, Nicolas Tredell introduces and sets in context the key debates about a novel which has provoked an immensely rich critical response. The extracts and essays included here examine "Great Expectations" in structural, symbolic, political, psychological, social and sexual terms, relating it to its own time and to a range of 20th century critical and theoretical perspectives.
