Dear Scott, Dearest Zelda : The love letters of F.Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald
(Author) Cathy W. BarksThis evocative collection of love letters chronicles one of the most legendary romances of all time. Much has been written about the fascinating marriage between Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald. Through his alcoholism and her mental illness, his career highs (and lows) and her institutional confinement, their devotion to each other lasted for more than twenty-two years. Their myth conjures up images of gleaming hotel lobbies, white suits, flappers, lavish parties and smoky speakeasies - a whole world of nostalgia for the Jazz age and the expatriate life in Europe. The Fitzgeralds' courtship and marriage was so tightly linked to their books that it has often been hard to distinguish between life and literature. Now, as a result of the meticulous work of Fitzgerald scholars Jackson R. Bryer and Cathy W. Barks, who have brought many previously unpublished letters together with those published separately in Scott and Zelda's collected writings, the story of their love can be given in their own letters. Introduced by an extensive narrative of the Fitzgeralds, they are illustrated throughout with a selection of both familiar and unpublished photographs.
