Modern vs realist AO3/4 The Romantic Era was a late 18th- early 19th century artistic movement which focused on the celebration of the beauty of nature and favoured emotion over reason. Authors include poets such as Wordsworth, Blake and Edgar Alan Poe. Realism became popular from the mid 19th century and was all about the historical time frame and reference, and writing about events and situations that actually happened in real life. The best know authors at this time were Mark Twain and Emily Dickenson. Modernism coincides with the rapid technological change of the early 20th century, driven by demands of the war. Writers began to experiment with unconventional language and structures. Fitzgerald greatly admired modernist poet T.S Eliot. Fitzgerald took things further by merging poetic Romanticism with the spare style of the Modernist, incorporating advertising slogans and slang into his work.

The Wasteland and The Valley of Ashes AO4 Fitzgerald admired the modernist poet T.S. Eliot. Eliot’s long poem ‘The Wasteland’ was published in 1922. It represents a sterile landscape, where everyone is isolated and unable to love, it voiced a common concern of the 1920s. Eliot’s idea may have inspired Fitzgerald’s idea of the desolate valley of the ashes. ‘What shall we do to-morrow? What shall we ever do?’ T.S Eliot, The Wasteland ‘What’ll we do with ourselves this afternoon?’ cried Daisy, ‘and the day after that, and for the next thirty years?’ F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby
