The Basil and Josephine Stories is a collection of two separate short stories collections (one about Basil Duke Lee, the other about Josephine Perry) by F. Scott Fitzgerald which initially ran serially in The Saturday Evening Post.[1] Some of them were later collected in Taps at Reveille and posthumous short story collections. The title characters were intended by Fitzgerald to meet each other, but this never happened in his literature[2]. Basil Duke Lee, who was a fictionalized version of F. Scott Fitzgerald's younger self[3]. Scott draws from his own experiences as a child and an adolescent.[4]
On the hand, Josephine, was a fictional character based on real life stories of a young woman whom allegedly, Scott had been in love with in his youth[5].
In various correspondences Fitzgerald expressed admiration for the Lee stories, based on a young man's life in the Midwest. Josephine is a sultry character who is presented as a headstrong woman. Some critics have theorized she is based on Ginevra King, the celebrated Chicago debutante who was Fitzgerald's "first love".[6]
