The advice in this guide to effective learning is to help students to think about the way they learn and, where necessary to improve their study, revision and examination techniques. They may read it chapter by chapter (rather than at one sitting) during the first weeks of a course, and then try the techniques recommended. Afterwards they may refer to appropriate chapters, for advice on particular points, throughout their course.
Known for his masterwork, "The Great Gatsby" and its criticism of American society during the 1920s, F. Scott Fitzgerald claimed the distinction of writing what many consider to be the "great American novel." "Critical Companion to F. Scott Fitzgerald" studies the legacy of this writer, highlighting significant themes and historical references of his various works. This revised, reorganized, and fully updated revision of "F. Scott Fitzgerald A to Z" contains extensive updates, including new critical commentary on all Fitzgerald's major novels and short stories.
