| Synopsis: |
Linda Wagner-Martin's Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald is a twenty-first century story. Wagner-Martin provides fascinating new insight into the glamorous yet tragic life of the Southern Belle who married F. Scott Fitzgerald. Swept away from her stable homelife into Jazz Age New York and Paris, Zelda eventually learned to be a writer and a painter and came close to being a ballerina. This book uniquely explores Zelda's family history and childhood - by looking at her upbringing in the Deep South and the influence this had on her character the book shows more poignantly her demise into drink, adultery and madness. It also includes analysis of recently uncovered psychiatric reports that reveal new information about Zelda's mental illness, the plausibility of her mis-diagnosis and the treatment of mentally ill patients in the 1930s/40s. An evocative portrayal of a talented woman's professional and emotional conflicts, this study contains intriguing new research and previously unpublished photographs. |
