5. F. Scott Fitzgerald
F. Scott Fitzgerald became the defining voice of the Jazz Age, immortalizing its glitz and underlying disillusionment in novels like The Great Gatsby. His sharp critique of the American Dream and tragic romanticism have made his works enduring subjects of discussion and analysis. Fitzgerald’s writing captures both the exuberance and the emptiness of the Roaring Twenties, making him a literary icon of the era.
