I read the Great Gatsby in high school, not too too long ago, and it instantly became my favorite book. I would guess that English teachers pick it because it’s a short, fun read with lots of issues to discuss and lots of literary merit. I’m glad to see it’s finally in the public domain.
- khrbrt 6y agoA benefit if it being in public domain is a variety of new editions to teach from. Cheap paperbacks containing just the story and which cost just above the cost of its paper and ink. Slightly fancier versions with introductions by literary scholars. Thick annotated editions with every allusion and reference explained with lengthy footnotes.
