This 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of the meticulous work of Fitzgerald scholars Jackson R. Bryer and Cathy W. Barks, who have brought many previously unpublished letters together with those published separately in Scott and Zelda's collected writings, the story of their love can be given in their own letters.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by an extensive narrative of the Fitzgeralds, they are illustrated throughout with a selection of both familiar and unpublished photographs.

F. Scott Fitzgerald, one of the great American authors of the twentieth century, was born in 1896 in St. Paul, Minnesota. He was at Princeton University when he left it in 1917 to join the army. During his time in the army he wrote The Romantic Egoist which was rejected when he submitted it for publication. The publisher remarked that it might be submitted again after revision. Fitzgerald revised The Romantic Egoist in 1919 when he was discharged from the army and it was published as This Side of Paradise in March 1920. While still in the army, Fitzgerald met Zelda Sayre in 1918 who became Zelda Fitzgerald in April 1920. In October 1921, they had a daughter, their only child. In 1924, Fitzgeralds traveled to France where he wrote The Great Gatsby. They returned to the United States in 1925. In addition to the above two novels, Fitzgerald wrote two more novels, one incomplete novel, many volumes of short stories, a drama and a collection of nonfiction writings. He died suddenly of a heart attack in 1940.
