Enriched Edition. Jazz Age Lyrics of Youth, Romance, Beauty, and American LongingBy Francis Scott Fitzgerald
Length1h 47m
About this audiobook
The Collected Poems of F. Scott Fitzgerald gathers the lyrical fragments, occasional verses, songs, and polished poems of an author more commonly associated with the modern American novel. These poems reveal Fitzgerald's fascination with beauty, youth, theatricality, romance, and loss—the same emotional architecture that underlies This Side of Paradise and The Great Gatsby. Stylistically, they range from light society verse to more wistful, finely cadenced meditations, placing him within the literary atmosphere of the Jazz Age while also recalling earlier traditions of lyric elegance. Francis Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940), born in St. Paul, Minnesota, became one of the defining chroniclers of American aspiration and disillusionment. Educated at Princeton, where literary ambition and social performance shaped his imagination, Fitzgerald developed a lifelong sensitivity to class, glamour, and failure. His poetry often reflects the youthful romanticism, melancholy, and performative brilliance that marked both his public persona and private struggles. This collection is recommended for readers who wish to encounter Fitzgerald beyond his celebrated fiction. It offers a valuable key to his artistic temperament, illuminating the lyric impulse beneath his prose and enriching our understanding of his enduring vision of American longing.
