In partnership with The Mount, the Norman Rockwell Museum presents the Jazz Age Novel, a literary program organized in conjunction with the exhibition Jazz Age Illustration.

The Jazz Age Novel will explore the work of three authors who critically examine the enormous cultural shifts that took place in America in the 1920s, including: F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Great Gatsby (1925) on the 100th anniversary of its publication; Edith Wharton’s Glimpses of the Moon (1922) chronicling the lives of American expatriates in Europe; and Nella Larsen’s Passing (1929) delving into the complexity of racial identity during the Harlem Renaissance.
