Admittedly, one of the most legendary and iconic writers of the world, Scott Fitzgerald, has significantly affected the literature of the Roaring Twenties and imprinted in history with his evergreen masterworks. Albeit how much tribute we pay to him, his influence is immeasurable.
Since he has never abandoned writing outstanding classics despite hardship and financial quagmires he encountered, he, eventually, managed to win millions of people’s hearts. What makes him unique is the variety of spheres of literature he pursued. In particular, he worked as a screenwriter and writer of short stories as well. From his childhood, he possessed such a remarkably intense curiosity about literature that at the age of 13, the promising novelist’s first piece of fiction has been come out in the newspaper of his school. During his 44-year lifetime, his four novels including the first one “This side of paradise” and “The beautiful and damned”,“ The diamond as big as the Ritz” both of which were published in 1922 and also “The Great Gatsby” can be incalculably precious. Furthermore,“ The Great Gatsby” and “Tender is the night” as well as prolific 164 short stories, all of which brought about tremendous milestones in American literature during the wartime and post-war period, are astonishingly valued by each fan of literature. Even, the soldiers were required to read the novel The Great Gatsby. Additionally, this romance is widely being applied to teach sedulous high-school students. Obviously, in most of his publications, principally, in The Great Gatsby which chiefly embraces the incidents of the World War I, the jazz age is what Fitzgerald depicted.
Undoubtedly, this celebrated writer can be the sun of the literature world. He has contributed to the evolution of literature as much vitally as the sun began illuminating the dim planet. Not only the world, but also outlook of human beings would have covered with gloom if these matchless magnum opuses of which he is the author had not been composed. Accordingly, human traits would have been consigned to oblivion. According to the critic, John Weaver, Fitzgerald’s influence on literature is so boundless that it cannot be evaluated. Moreover, his slick works act as the nourishing writings to other up-and-coming poets and novelists. One of whom is the renowned John O’Hara, who emphasized the crucial impact of Fitzgerald on his works. Besides, Kenneth Miller, the writer of“ The Black Money” is a good example of this. It is Fitzgerald’s awe-inspiring masterpiece “The Great Gatsby” that encouraged Miller to write a novel that has a character akin to Jay Gatsby, whose name is Pedro Domingo. It is worthy of note that the majority of established writers treasure Fitzgerald’s diligence and inspirational compositions. By far the most preponderant one is patently the blockbuster Great Gatsby. For instance, Charles Jackson eulogized it as the only impeccable novel in the history of American literature.
In conclusion, Fitzgerald is, undeniably, the greatest novelist ever born and ever influenced the literature of previous century who is bound to immortalised.
