Dedication: Ruth M. Prigozy (May 7, 1930–July 16, 2017)

Abstract

Copyright © 2017 The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA This issue of The F. Scott Fitzgerald Review—our fifteenth—is dedicated to the memory of Ruth M. Prigozy, who served as the executive director of the F. Scott Fitzgerald Society from 1990 to 2013. With Jackson R. Bryer and Alan Margolies, Ruth cofounded the organization, and for the first several years oversaw our biennial conferences, including the 2000 Nice, France, meeting, which set the bar for both setting and attendance. Through Hofstra University, where she taught for more forty years, Ruth was also instrumental in funding the Review in our first iteration. Her own scholarly contributions to Fitzgerald studies, including The Cambridge Companion to F. Scott Fitzgerald, which she edited, are immense. In addition to her professional accomplishments, Ruth was a dear friend and colleague. We asked Ronald Berman to share his reflections on her legacy.
