Bibliography of the Short Stories of F. Scott Fitzgerald (and Zelda Fitzgerald) |
Introduction
F. Scott Fitzgerald, whose fame rests largely upon his novels, especially The Great Gatsby (1925), also wrote dozens upon dozens of short stories that literally provided him with his livelihood, many of which made their initial appearances in The Saturday Evening Post and Esquire.
In total, one hundred eighty-one short stories by Fitzgerald, both published and unpublished, are listed below. Of these, one is shared in authorship with Zelda Fitzgerald (her other ten stories are noted also), and another was classified by Fitzgerald as a burlesque. A few others were classified as stories, although with a question mark, by Fitzgerald. Volumes of Fitzgerald's works in which these stories are collected are noted, with contents explained.
Most of the information presented here has been collected before in different formats and arrangement: This webpage owes much to the previous bibliographical work of Matthew J. Bruccoli and Jackson R. Bryer--and Fitzgerald's own Ledger (see sources listed below for more information). What makes this bibliography of F. Scott Fitzgerald's stories most unique are two things: first, its arrangement of the stories by periodical, rather than in alphabetical order by title or chronological order by date of publication; second, notes for the original appearances of the stories in periodicals are cited with the bibliographical entries for Flappers and Philosophers, Tales of the Jazz Age, All the Sad Young Men, and Taps at Reveille, which are the four collections of short stories assembled by Fitzgerald during his lifetime.
Although this compilation is devoted mostly to Fitzgerald's short stories, his five plays are noted, and brief citations are given for Fitzgerald's five novels.
The Stories of F. Scott Fitzgerald
arranged by the periodicals in which the stories first appeared
The stories are listed in chronological order for each periodical.
The last column under each periodical lists volumes of Fitzgerald's works in which each story was collected. Clicking on the title will take you to its bibliographical information.
To find a particular story, use your Internet Explorer browser's feature by clicking on "Edit" and then "Find (on this page)..."; in the dialogue window type the title and click on "Find Next." (You can also bring up the dialogue window by pressing the "Ctrl" and "F" keys simultaneously.) Once you reach the story's title, you will have to scroll up the page to discover the periodical in which it was published.

Original editions only are noted here.
- This Side of Paradise. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1920.
- The Beautiful and Damned. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1922.
- The Great Gatsby. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1925.

- Bruccoli, Matthew J. F. Scott Fitzgerald: A Descriptive Bibliography. Rev. ed. University of Pittsburgh Press, 1987.
The best and most complete source for bibliographical information for all of Fitzgerald's writings. In Section C, pp. 301-347, notes for the short stories are intermingled, in chronological order, with other writings by Fitzgerald that made their first appearances in magazines and newspapers. Notes for Zelda Fitzgerald's writings are included in Appendix 1, pp. 419-436. Sections A and AA include notes for books by Fitzgerald in which the stories were collected.
- Bryer, Jackson R., ed. The Short Stories of F. Scott Fitzgerald: New Approaches in Criticism. Madison: The University of Wisconsin Press, 1982.
Section VII of the Appendix, pp. 348-377, has a complete listing, in alphabetical order, of Fitzgerald's short stories, with dates of composition and first publication, place of first publication, and Fitzgerald story collections in which the story has been reprinted.
Bryer lists 178 stories in his bibliography; on this webpage I have added three Fitzgerald works, two from Esquire: "The Ants at Princeton" and "Afternoon of an Author" (which Fitzgerald himself questioned might be considered stories; see notes that appear with those stories above) and one from The Princeton University Library Chronicle: "A Full Life" (which was included in the list of stories and plays found in "F. Scott Fitzgerald's Publications"; a check online of the Princeton Library holdings revealed the story there to be categorized as a short story--rather than a play--but I have no other knowledge about the particular type of writing it may be--satire? sketch? parody?--or its background--the reference only said to see "Marie Shank Additions"; the publication information for "A Full Life" varies a bit from that which appears in "F. Scott Fitzgerald's Publications," as follows: PULC 49/2 (Winter 1989 [not 1988]): 167-73 [not 72]").
- F. Scott Fitzgerald's Ledger: A Facsimile. Introduction by Matthew J. Bruccoli. A Bruccoli Clark Book. Washington, D.C.: NCR/Microcard Editions, 1972.
The Ledger contains Fitzgerald's own detailed records of his professional writings.

Available: http://www.sc.edu/fitzgerald/bibliography.html. Accessed 3 June 1999.This webpage includes a chronological list of Fitzgerald's short stories and also includes an extensive bibliography of other Fitzgerald works.
This webpage is derived from Appendix 3, pp. 647-677, of Matthew J. Bruccoli's Some Sort of Epic Grandeur: The Life of F. Scott Fitzgerald (Revised ed. New York: Carroll & Graf, 1993).
