The Great Gatsby

F. Scott Fitzgerald,James L. W. West III (Pennsylvania State University)

This eighteenth and final volume in the Cambridge Edition of the Works of F. Scott Fitzgerald is a variorum edition of The Great Gatsby (1925), the author’s masterpiece. The variorum text is based on multiple witnesses including the extant holograph of the novel and Fitzgerald’s revised galley proofs; the first edition and later impressions from the first-edition plates; and importantly, Fitzgerald’s personal copy of the novel, which bears corrections and revisions in his hand. This edition removes instances of over-correction in later editions of the novel, where there are numerous examples of textual corruption, thus giving control of the text back to Fitzgerald. This critical edition includes an introduction, tracing the history of the novel, an emended text, emendation tables, Fitzgerald’s 1935 introduction, and fourteen illustrations. Historical annotations provide identifications of persons, places, events, popular songs, and literary works - all now made available to readers, teachers, critics, and scholars.
