F. Scott Fitzgerald: Comprehensive Research and Study Guide (Bloom's Major Short Story Writers) (Library Binding)

by Harold Bloom (Editor)

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Gr 9 Up-Packed with portions of essays, none longer than a short commercial break, and only a few any more taxing for average readers, this slender analysis of The Great Gatsby and Tender Is the Night will be useful to novice researchers. Providing relatively detailed plot summaries, a list of major characters, and selections from 15-to-17 essays on each novel, the book contains practically all the information a sophomore needs. The volume concludes with a list of Fitzgerald's works, a bibliography, and a thematic index. Libraries that already own Bloom's Fitzgerald volume in "The Modern Critical Views" series (Chelsea) may pass on this one, but it may be just what more timid students need. The main drawback is also possibly its greatest strength: how predigested it feels.-Herman Sutter, Saint Agnes Academy, Houston, TX
