Abstract
Whereas last year’s scholarship on Hemingway considerably outweighed work on Fitzgerald, this year’s chapter evidences more balanced critical attention. Scholars concentrate not only on The Great Gatsby and Tender is the Night but also on many of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s stories (especially “Babylon Revisited”) as well as on Zelda’s literary and visual artwork. A handful of Fitzgerald’s neglected stories, such as “I’d Die for You,” have been printed for the first time. Likewise, hundreds of Ernest Hemingway’s letters from 1929 to 1931—of which 85 percent have never previously appeared in print—have been published this year. Scholars focus on numerous aspects of Hemingway’s life and writing, including his political leanings, international travel, engagement in various wars, and mental illness. Several studies take up Across the River and into the Trees and other less frequently examined short fiction as their primary concerns.
