Gone with the Wind (1936) by Margaret Mitchell is a sweeping historical epic set against the backdrop of the American Civil War and Reconstruction. The novel follows the headstrong and manipulative Scarlett O’Hara, a Southern belle whose relentless determination to survive and reclaim her family’s plantation, Tara, drives the narrative. Scarlett’s tumultuous love life—especially her obsession with the gentlemanly Ashley Wilkes and her fiery dynamic with the roguish Rhett Butler—mirrors the collapse and rebirth of the Old South.

Mitchell’s vivid prose immerses readers in the era’s grandeur and brutality, from the burning of Atlanta to the struggles of freedmen and carpetbaggers. While celebrated for its dramatic intensity and complex heroine, the novel has been criticized for its romanticized portrayal of slavery and the antebellum South, reflecting the prejudices of its time.

A Pulitzer Prize-winning cultural phenomenon, Gone with the Wind remains a cornerstone of American literature, though its legacy is now fiercely debated.
