American Literature

Francis Scott Fitzgerald was born in 1896 in St. Paul, Minnesota, on September 24 th , 1896, and died in Hollywood, California, on December 21, 1940 . He was part of a middle-class family, and his parents were of Irish origin. As her parents had incomes enough encouraged him to study at Princeton University. However, He left it to Join the Army when the U.S. decided to take part in the First World War. A conflict, in which he did not take part, at least he was not on the front. He was a modernist. Remember that modernism was a literary movement that took place between the first world war and the second.  It looked for new ways of expression and writers tried to incorporate new genres, as a result of mixtures or improvements of the previous ones. Writers also wanted to reflect in their creations on how the world was changing, an emerging industrial world.  They tried to leave the traditional forms of writing. “Make it New" was the premise of the moment, not only for literature
