Àííîòàöèÿ: Re-creating the author—s intention from the manuscripts, this study shows that Fitzgerald regarded none of his material as final but, rather, as material toward a novel quite possibly about the Ameri]can Dream—a respectful study of the American business hero.Mr. Bruccoli—s transcription and anal]yses of the manuscripts and notes for the unfinished novel serve two related purposes: they enable us to gauge the state of F. Scott Fitzgerald—s work-in-progress at the time of his death and thereby to reassess this work properly.Examination of Fitzgerald—s drafts re]veal that he regarded none of this mate]rial as finished. There are no final drafts—only latest working drafts. After Chapter One there are no chapters, and even this is marked for rewrite. And Fitzgerald—s undated last outline pro]vides only topics or ideas for the thir]teen unwritten episodes.
