Importance during the 1920s
Fitzgerald's This Side of Paradise was a very popular novel during the start of the Jazz Age, and resulted in immediate success, wealth, and fame for him. Fitzgerald contributed to the entertainment side of the 20s with his novels, such as The Great Gatsby. He, along with Ernest Hemingway and other authors, were the most popular and acclaimed authors of the 1920s. They developed the basis for literature in that time period, which is a pretty big contribution, if you ask me.
Scott was able to capture the glamour, riches, parties, and even the depressing side of the 1920s in his works. With these books, we can relive what it felt like to be alive in that time as a young lady or gentleman, which makes his novels a very interesting and good read.
Overall, Fitzgerald (along with others) developed a basis for literature during the 20s. He was very popular with his books, and is still being recognized today.
