This Norton Critical Edition of The Great Gatsby features the American classic text by F. Scott Fitzgerald with editorial annotations. The story follows the narrative of Nick, a young man introduced into the social circles of a wealthy society by a mysterious and charismatic man called Jay Gatsby. The "Contexts" provides examples of Fitzgerald's literary influences, positions his life at the time of the novel's conception through his correspondences with friends, and highlights some of the emerging works and intellectual ideas that were being formed during the same time as the novel. "Criticism" showcases the evolution of the reception of the novel, by offering examples of the initial reception, critical texts during the Fitzgerald Revival, and modern analyses. A chronology is also included.
