Zelda Fitzgerald’s Magazine Articles in Spain: La vida moderna (2019) and Other Publications
Keywords:
Zelda Fitzgerald, magazine articles, Modernist women writersAbstract
Zelda Fitzgerald (1900-1948) started her literary career as a magazine article writer. However, rarely were these articles credited to her since they were either published as by Scott Fitzgerald or as by Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald. Her increasing popularity from the 1970s has led several feminist scholars to focus on her life and work, but little in-depth analysis about her magazine articles has been hitherto published. In fact, the four Spanish publications reviewed in this note——“Zelda Fitzgerald: La realidad como fantasía artística” (2003), “La lucha de Zelda Fitzgerald por convertirse en artista” (2012), La vida moderna (2019), and “‘Hermosa y maldita’: La prosa miscelánea de Zelda Fitzgerald” (2003)—provide readers with a vast amount of information about Zelda’s life; yet, as this note attempts to show, most of them lack a thorough analysis of Zelda’s magazine articles. Thus, the aim of this work is to explore these publications in order to decide to what extent they acclaim Zelda as a competent author—and, particularly, as an article writer.
