Gone with the Wind
Scarlett O'Hara is the spoiled belle of a north Georgia cotton plantation, set on a neighbor who is already engaged to his own cousin, when secession turns the county's young men into soldiers. Siege, defeat and the ruin of Tara drive her into trade, taxes and marriages she does not want, with the blockade runner Rhett Butler always somewhere in the account. A thousand-page bestseller that took the 1937 Pulitzer and fixed the plantation myth of the Old South so firmly that American writing has been arguing with it ever since.
