Rezension zu „Analysing Texts / F. Scott Fitzgerald: The Great Gatsby/Tender is the Night “
'Nicolas Tredell's examination of The Great Gatsby and Tender is the Night is a rare critical look at two of F. Scott Fitzgerald's most important texts, side by side. While the two novels have often been interpreted, rarely are they read in tandem, as this study does. Insightful, intelligent and thought-provoking, this study provides fascinating contexts within which new dimensions of both novels are brought to the fore, in light of each other.' - Stephanie Smith, University of Florida, USA
