Inhaltsangabe

Fitzgerald planned to publish a collection of his personal essays, but never did. Fortunately he left behind a table of contents, and it has been possible to reconstruct the collection that he envisioned, as My Lost City. This volume features authoritative texts, a textual apparatus, and full explanatory notes.

'The result is a wealth of context for these very contemporary essays ...' Peter Shillingsburg, De Montfort University

Reseña del editor:

Twice during the last decade of his life, in 1934 and 1936, F. Scott Fitzgerald proposed a collection of his personal essays to Maxwell Perkins, his editor at Charles Scribner's Sons. Perkins was unenthusiastic on both occasions, and Fitzgerald died in 1940 without having put his best essays between hard covers. Fortunately Fitzgerald left behind a table of contents, and with this list as a guide it has been possible to publish here the collection that he envisioned, under the title My Lost City. This volume, first published in 2005, also includes several of Fitzgerald's autobiographical writings. My Lost City, like the other volumes in the Cambridge Edition, provides accurate texts based on Fitzgerald's surviving manuscripts and typescripts. Words and passages cut by magazine editors have been restored to several of the essays. A textual apparatus has been included, along with full explanatory notes identifying people, places, books, historical events, and other details.
