In his introduction, Harold Bloom states that The Great Gatsby "has become part of what must be called the American mythology." This volume offers a complete critical survey of the novel, including examinations of its structure and narrative stance, redefining of the hero, and more. This series is edited by Harold Bloom, Sterling Professor of the Humanities, Yale University; Henry W. and Albert A. Berg Professor of English, New York University Graduate School. These texts presents critical essays that reflect a variety of schools of criticism on the most important 20th-century criticism on major works from The Odyssey through modern literature. Each volume also contains an introductory essay by Harold Bloom, critical biographies, notes on the contributing critics, a chronology of the author's life, and an index.

There is a reason why so many people call this their favorite novel of all time. It is just THAT good. I have read this book many times and I love it more with each reading. A MUST read (and if you haven't read it, why on earth haven't you? Times-a-wasting reading this mundane review...get on it!).

Authorized by the estate of F. Scott Fitzgerald. This edition, based on the Cambridge critical text, restores all the language of Fitzgerald's masterpiece.
