Title: Bright Star, Green Light: The Beautiful and Damned Lives of John Keats and F. Scott Fitzgerald

Author: Jonathan Bate

Narrator: Paul Hilliar

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11:11:57

Language: English

Release date: 02-04-21

Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers UK

Genres: Biography & Memoir, Fiction & Literature, Literary, Essays & Anthologies, History & Culture

Summary:

A dazzling biography of two interwoven, tragic lives: John Keats and F. Scott Fitzgerald.

Highly engaging Go now, read this book THE TIMES

For awhile after you quit Keats, Fitzgerald once wrote, All other poetry seems to be only whistling or humming.

John Keats died two hundred years ago, in February 1821. F. Scott Fitzgerald defined a decade that began one hundred years ago, the Jazz Age.

In this biography, prizewinning author Jonathan Bate recreates these two shining, tragic lives in parallel. Not only was Fitzgerald profoundly influenced by Keats, titling Tender is the Night and other works from the poets lines, but the two lived with echoing fates: both died young, loved to drink, were plagued by tuberculosis, were haunted by their first love, and wrote into a new decade of release, experimentation and decadence.

Luminous and vital, this biography goes through the looking glass to meet afresh two of the greatest and best-known Romantic writers in their twinned centuries.

Summary:

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

A fascinating exploration into the lives of three women ignored by history Eye-opening, engrossing

Brit Bennett,bestselling author ofThe Vanishing Half

In her groundbreaking debut, Anna Malaika Tubbs tells the incredible storIES of three women who raised three world-changing men.

Much has been written about Berdis Baldwin's son James, about Alberta King's son Martin Luther and Louise Little's son Malcolm. But virtually nothing has been said about the extraordinary women who raised them, each fighting their own battles, born into the beginning of the twentieth century and a deadly landscape of racial prejudice, Jim Crow, exploitation, unpoliced violence and open police vitriol.

It was a society that would deny their sons humanity from the beginning as it had denied theirs, but Berdis, Alberta and Louise were extraordinary women who instilled resilience, resistance and greatness in their sons. They would become mothers not just to three world-famous men but to the civil rights movement itself.

These women represent a piece of history left untold and a celebration of Black motherhood long overdue.
