This post is a companion piece to my review of Uncle Tom’s Cabin, the 1852 novel, which is mentioned in Margaret Mitchell’s Gone with the Wind (in an unflattering light).
A fine review that shines a bright light on the many strengths of this much loved and much derided novel: Scarlett as a narcissistic and reckless "embodiment or symbol of the South"; Mammy as the hero of the novel--just two good examples.
