The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald

The Great Gatsby, while fiction, provides a fabulous American Prohibition-era social history. The story is set in a rich Long Island context in 1922—the Jazz Age, which featured a good deal of (you guessed it!) jazz music, rebellion, prosperity (for some, not all, of course), looser ways, and speakeasies.
