Part of the Norton Library seriesThe Norton Library edition of The Great Gatsby features the complete text of the first 1925 edition, along with a selection of earlier short stories by Fitzgerald: “Winter Dreams,” “Absolution,” and “The Sensible Thing.” An introduction by Anne Margaret Daniel sets the novel’s Jazz Age milieu, following Fitzgerald as he navigates the dramatic highs and lows of writing and publishing his masterwork. The Norton Library is a growing collection of high-quality texts and translations—influential works of literature and philosophy—introduced and edited by leading scholars. Norton Library editions prepare readers for their first encounter with the works that they’ll re-read over a lifetime. Inviting introductions highlight the work’s significance and influence, providing the historical and literary context students need to dive in with confidence. Endnotes and an easy-to-read design deliver an uninterrupted reading experience, encouraging students to read the text first and refer to endnotes for more information as needed. An affordable price (most $10 or less) encourages students to buy the book and to come to class with the assigned edition. About the Editor: Anne Margaret Daniel teaches literature at The New School in New York City and has published widely on Fitzgerald, Modernism, and music. She is the editor of I’d Die For You and Other Lost Stories, a collection of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s last previously unpublished short stories.
