Sometimes Madness Is Wisdom

Kendall Taylor, Ph.D., a cultural historian and Fulbright scholar, has been a professor and a museum curator. Her interest in Zelda Fitzgerald began thirty years ago when she was a graduate student at Vanderbilt University and read Arthur Mizener’s biography of F. Scott Fitzgerald. Noting that Mizener’s study left Zelda’s life largely undocumented, Taylor began her own research by speaking with many of the Fitzgeralds’ acquaintances and conducting interviews with Zelda’s friends and family. She has continued that investigation over the past decades. She lives in Canton, New York.
