The story of F. Scott Fitzgerald's creation of Jay Gatsby—war hero and Oxford man—at the beginning of the Jazz Age, when the City of Dreaming Spires attracted an astounding array of intellectuals, including the Inklings, W.B. Yeats, and T.S. Eliot.A diverse group of Americans came to Oxford in the first quarter of the twentieth century—the Jazz Age—when the Rhodes Scholar program had just begun and the Great War had enveloped much of Europe. Scott Fitzgerald created his most memorable character—Jay Gatsby—shortly after his and Zelda’s visit to Oxford. Fitzgerald’s creation is a cultural reflection of the aspirations of many Americans who came to the University of Oxford. Beginning in 1904, when the first American Rhodes Scholars arrived in Oxford, this book chronicles the experiences of Americans in Oxford through the Great War to the beginning of the Great Depression. This period is interpreted through the pages of The Great Gatsby, producing a vivid cultural history. Archival material covering Scholars who came to Oxford during Trinity Term 1919—when Jay Gatsby claims he studied at Oxford—enables the narrative to illuminate a detailed portrait of what a “historical Gatsby” would have looked like, what he would have experienced at the postwar university, and who he would have encountered around Oxford—an impressive array of artists including W.B. Yeats, Virginia Woolf, Aldous Huxley, and C.S. Lewis.

Maybe I read this book in the wrong way. It is not a scholarly work yet it has endnotes and discussions of well-known authors. In some ways the book is like a masters thesis. In some ways it’s a catalogue of names. Reading the segments about the Inklings and Evelyn Waugh were interesting but for the life of me I can’t see what “Brideshead Revisited” has to do with “The Great Gatsby” beyond the books being their respective author’s most well known works. The author does not do similar segments on Galsworthy or Powell yet their novels were very much of their time and included severely flawed protagonists. Fitzgerald made a glancing blow at Oxford: he visited it once. The author tires to tell us Fitzgerald was influenced by Oxford by attending Princeton which was inspired by Woodrow Wilson’s admiration for Oxford. There are very few direct ties binding Fitzgerald to Oxford. And yes, the Jazz Age was an American product that made it’s way to England but the Bright Young People were English, mostly aristocracy. It’s a funny book. Fitzgerald describes Gatsby as an Oxford man; I think the author of this book read far far too much in Fitzgerald’s description. “Gatsby’s Oxford” is a interesting book for his social and cultural history. As a look at Gatsby? The case was not satisfactorily made.
