Description:
The work first appeared in England, issued by Chatto & Windus using the original American plates, in 1926. This 1948 edition is significant for being the first to be printed in the U.K. marking the revival of British interest in a masterpiece that had slipped into near obscurity. When F. Scott Fitzgerald died in 1940, he believed his commercially unsuccessful magnum opus of 1925 was permanently forgotten. The Grey Walls Press spearheaded the British rediscovery of Fitzgerald during the 1940s. Rare.
