Linda Wagner Martin’s Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald is a twenty first century story. Using cultural and gender studies as contexts, Wagner Martin brings new information to the story of the Alabama judge’s daughter who, at seventeen, met her husband to be, Scott Fitzgerald. Swept away from her stable home life into Jazz Age New York and Paris, Zelda eventually learned to be a writer and a painter and she came close to being a ballerina. An evocative portrayal of a talented woman’s professional and emotional conflicts, this study contains extensive notes and new photographs.
