Description: For sale is a vintage paperback of The Beautiful and Damned by F. Scott Fitzgerald, author of The Great Gatsby, considered one of the greatest of American novels. (original copyright date precedes date of paperback edition) The Beautiful and Damned - 1922, Permabooks P123 1951. 1st printing. Fitzgerald's second novel (after This Side of Paradise) focuses upon the swinish behavior and glittering excesses of the American social elite in the heyday of New York's café society. Fitzgerald modeled the characters of Anthony Patch on himself and Gloria Gilbert on his newlywed spouse Zelda Fitzgerald. The novel draws circumstantially upon the early years of Fitzgeralds' tempestuous marriage following the unexpected success of the author's first novel. Having reflected upon the criticisms of This Side of Paradise, Fitzgerald sought to improve upon the form and construction of his prose in The Beautiful and Damned and to venture into a new genre of fiction altogether. Consequently, he revised the novel based on editorial suggestions from his friend Edmund Wilson and his editor Max Perkins.
