“Pure and lovely…to read Zelda’s letters is to fall in love with her.” —The Washington Post
Edited by renowned Fitzgerald scholars Jackson R. Bryer and Cathy W. Barks, with an introduction by Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald's granddaughter, Eleanor Lanahan, this compilation of over three hundred love letters tells the couple's epic love story in their own words.
Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald's devotion to each other endured for more than twenty-two years, through the highs and lows of his literary success and alcoholism, and her mental illness. In Dear Scott, Dearest Zelda, over three hundred of their collected love letters show why theirs has long been heralded as one of the greatest love stories of the 20th century.
Dear Scott, Dearest Zelda is a welcome addition to the Fitzgerald literary canon and an essential collection for readers of American literature, Jazz Age history, and literary biography.
