Tender is the night

With an Introduction and Notes by Henry Claridge, Senior Lecturer, School of English, University of Kent at Canterbury
Tender is the Night is a story set in the hedonistic high society of Europe during the „Roaring Twenties“. A wealthy schizophrenic, Nicole Warren, falls in love with Dick Diver – her psychiatrist. The resulting saga of the Diver’s troubled marriage and their circle of friends, includes a cast of aristocratic and beautiful people, unhappy love affairs, a duel, incest, and the problems inherent in the possession of great wealth. Despite cataloguing a maelstrom of interpersonal conflict, Tender is the Night has a poignancy and warmth which springs from the quality of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s writing and the tragic personal experiences on which the book is based.
