Scott Fitzgerald","description":"\u003cb\u003eThis immensely pleasurable biography of two interwoven, tragic figures, John Keats and F. Scott Fitzgerald, \"unabashedly, cheerfully celebrates the lasting power of literature\" (Christoph Irmscher, \u003ci\u003eWall Street Journal\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e) \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In this radiant dual biography, Jonathan Bate explores the fascinating parallel lives of John Keats and F. Scott Fitzgerald, writers who worked separately--on different continents, a century apart, in distinct genres--but whose lives uncannily echoed. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Not only was Fitzgerald profoundly influenced by Keats, titling \u003ci\u003eTender Is the Night\u003c\/i\u003e and other works from the poet's lines, but the two shared similar fates: both died young, loved to drink, were plagued by tuberculosis, were haunted by their first love, and wrote into a new decade of release, experimentation, and decadence. Both were outsiders and Romantics, longing for the past as they sped blazingly into the future. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Using Plutarch's ancient model of \"parallel lives,\" Bate recasts the inspired lives of two of the greatest and best-known Romantic writers. Commemorating both the bicentenary of Keats's death and the centenary of the Roaring Twenties, this is a moving exploration of literary influence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jonathan Bate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300256574\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300256574\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.29h x 6.14w x 1.42d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2022","brand":"Jonathan Bate","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44049662116095,"sku":"9780300256574","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_32410c95-9c5c-4c98-9beb-c10169459f15.jpg?v=1685002787","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/bright-star-green-light-jonathan-bate-9780300256574","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
