He is said to have epitomized the Jazz Age, which he himself defined as 'a generation grown up to find all Gods dead, all wars fought, all faiths in man shaken'. In 1920 he entered a traumatic marriage which was to influence much of his writing.|Francis Scott Fitzgerald was born in 1896 in Saint Paul, Minnesota, and educated at Princeton.
