Join The Friends for the annual McDermott Lecture, featuring Dr. Jennifer Nolan, Associate Professor of English at North Carolina State University. She has published widely on the literary, cultural, editorial, and visual contexts of popular American magazines in the interwar era, with emphasis on F. Scott Fitzgerald, short stories, and illustration. Her recent scholarly articles have appeared in the F. Scott Fitzgerald Review, Book History, American Periodicals, and the Journal of Modern Periodical Studies, and she is advisory editor and wrote the introduction for a forthcoming volume from Edinburgh University Press of Fitzgerald’s magazine fiction. She serves on the board of the F. Scott Fitzgerald society and was delighted to serve as the program director for the 2017 F. Scott Fitzgerald Society conference in St. Paul!

The McDermott Lecture is named for Richard P. McDermott, who helped restore Fitzgerald’s birthplace in the 1970s and remained an avid supporter of Fitzgerald activities before passing away in 2012.
