Review Quotes




A. E. Elmore's Inside "The Great Gatsby" The Hidden Subtext is a revolutionary study that will become a standard reference text and a springboard into future interpretations of the novel. No other book-length study begins to explicate Gatsby, chapter by chapter, as fully and as sensitively as Elmore's, and it is easy to imagine the new readings that will have their origins in Elmore's systematic analysis--some expanding and extending his analysis of various allusions, and others challenging some of his provocative conclusions.



Every scholar should have a friend as devoted as John Kuhnle. When A.E. Elmore, a founding member of the F. Scott Fitzgerald Society in 1990, passed away a decade ago he left behind a manuscript that many of us had previewed in piecemeal form at conferences across the decades. Thanks to Kuhnle's dedicated editing, Inside The Great Gatsby: The Hidden Subtext is now available to provide a great overview of the 1925 classic to first-time readers. Elmore's close reading focuses with scrupulous precision on the network of symbols and connotations that give Fitzgerald's style its power, making his prose come alive. Even longtime fans wll find new insights here to add to their appreciation of the text.
