Gone with the Wind
Antebellum Southern epic
Gone with the Wind is a 1936 novel by Margaret Mitchell set during the American Civil War and Reconstruction, following Southern belle Scarlett O'Hara.
The 1939 film adaptation became one of the most celebrated movies in cinema history.
The title, from a poem about vanished civilization, has become shorthand for the romanticized antebellum South—and critiques of that romanticization: Her notion of Southern gentility is pure Gone with the Wind.
