Description:

The collection consists of additional (i.e., in addition to the F. Scott Fitzgerald Papers) writings, including published juvenilia, letters, documents, photographs, tape recordings, and memorabilia of Fitzgerald (Princeton Class of 1917), and material of others about him. Included are 7 boxes of papers presented by several of Fitzgerald's friends of the 1930s and 1940: Bertie Barr, Esquire magazine, which published many of the Pat Hobby stories, Sheilah Graham, Laura Guthrie Hearne, and Marie Shank. There are also two film versions of Tender Is the Night, David Hertz' screenplay (1947) and that of Ivan Moffat (1961).

A futher addition to the collection contains 32 letter and cards from Fitzgerald to "Dear Patsy" (Hazel McCromack); miscellaneous correspondence to and from Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald to Francis Kroll, Matthew Bruccolli and others; correspondence related to Marie Stokes Jemison; letters sent by authors and critics to William Goldhurst regarding Fitzgerald, including T. S. Eliot, Norman Mailer, Harold Ober, and Thornton Wilder; photographs; drawings; and newspaper clippings. Also included are a photocopy of the screenplay by Harold Pinter which is based on Fitzgerald's last, unfinished novel The Last Tycoon and the script and film print of Marked for Glory, a film about Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald by Gwinn Owens. Nine large scrapbooks of material about Fitzgerald, his life, and works, collected by daughter Scottie Fitzgerald Lanahan, complete the collection.

Facsimile editions of the The Great Gatsby holograph (Microcard Editions Books, 1973; Editions des Saints Pères, 2017) and of Fitzgerald's other manuscripts (Bruccoli, ed., Garland Books, 1970), as well as photocopies of the manuscripts and scrapbooks are available in the Special Collections reading room.
