Since F. Scott Fitzgerald’s masterpiece, The Great Gatsby , entered into the public domain, several editions have appeared on the market, most of them mere reprints. A few publishers have released so-called “annotated editions,” but such publications contribute only supplemental essays to the original text. Few readers' guides include the full text of the novel as this one does. Finally, this enhanced edition of an American classic offers introductory essays for students and teachers, extensive vocabulary lists for each chapter, and a fully annotated version of the text. Rick Hoffman has over two decades of experience teaching The Great Gatsby to high school students and delivers plainspoken analysis that decodes this beloved classic for all readers.
