{"product_id":"american-dream-visions-deborah-davis-schlacks-9780820422466","title":"American Dream Visions: Chaucer's Surprising Influence on F. Scott Fitzgerald","description":"This fascinating book breaks new ground by examining the influence of Chaucer's dream visions on American author F. Scott Fitzgerald. In so doing, it raises important questions about periodization, genre, and gender issues. Besides offering much biographical evidence of a Fitzgerald-Chaucer connection, the study uses Jungian theory to present a detailed and persuasive discussion of structural and other features shared by Chaucer's works and several of Fitzgerald's relatively early works: three stories, a play, and \u003ci\u003eThe Great Gatsby\u003c\/i\u003e. Further, the study demonstrates that each author dealt with a similiar theme: that of artistic creativity and the qualities necessary for the successful artist. It explores, too, each author's use of artist-narrators, including Fitzgerald's use of females in the role of artist figure in two of his stories.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Deborah Davis Schlacks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0820422460\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820422466\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Inc., International Academic Publi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 234\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.11lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.31h x 6.19w x 0.78d","brand":"Deborah Davis Schlacks","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48241119002879,"sku":"9780820422466","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_048f6ffc-6179-4ffe-ad6a-7b6aca3551be.jpg?v=1772652827","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/american-dream-visions-deborah-davis-schlacks-9780820422466","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
