Establishment of the F. Scott Fitzgerald Society at Hofstra University

In 1990, Hofstra University established the F. Scott Fitzgerald Society, dedicated to the study and appreciation of the works of the iconic American author, F. Scott Fitzgerald. This society has since become an affiliate of the American Literature Association, fostering a community of scholars, educators, and enthusiasts who share a passion for Fitzgerald's literary contributions. The society plays a crucial role in promoting research, hosting conferences, and facilitating discussions about Fitzgerald's impact on American literature. In a remarkable adaptation to the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the society organized an online reading of Fitzgerald's debut novel, 'This Side of Paradise,' to commemorate its centenary. This virtual event not only celebrated the novel's significance but also showcased the society's commitment to keeping Fitzgerald's legacy alive in innovative ways. Through such initiatives, the F. Scott Fitzgerald Society continues to engage with both new and long-time admirers of Fitzgerald's work, ensuring that his literary genius remains relevant in contemporary discourse. #mooflife #mof #MomentOfLife #F.ScottFitzgerald #FitzgeraldSociety #AmericanLiterature #ThisSideOfParadise #Covid-19
