Finally, we’ll see first hand The General, a steam locomotive used in the Great Locomotive Chase in April 1862. Residents Enjoyed the Gone With the Wind Museum “Gone With the Wind” is a 1939 American epic historical romance film adapted from the 1936 novel by Margaret Mitchell. The film was produced by David O. Selznick of Selznick International Pictures and directed by Victor Fleming. Set in the American South against the backdrop of the American Civil War and the Reconstruction Era, the film tells the story of Scarlett O’Hara, the strong-willed daughter of a Georgia plantation owner. It follows her romantic pursuit of Ashley Wilkes, who is married to his cousin, Melanie Hamilton, and her subsequent marriage to Rhett Butler. The leading roles are played by Vivien Leigh (Scarlett), Clark Gable (Rhett), Leslie Howard (Ashley), and Olivia Gone With The Wind Museum de Havilland (Melanie). Production was difficult from the start. Filming was delayed for two years because of Selznick’s determination to secure Gable for the role of Rhett Butler, and the “search for Scarlett” led to 1,400 women being interviewed for the part. The original screenplay was written by Sidney Howard and underwent many revisions by several writers in an attempt to reduce it to a suitable length. The original director, George Cukor, was fired shortly after filming began and was replaced by Fleming, who in turn was briefly replaced by Sam Wood while Fleming took some time off due to exhaustion. The film received positive reviews upon its release in December 1939, although some reviewers found it to be too long. The casting was widely praised, and many reviewers found Leigh especially suited to her role as Scarlett. At the A poster from the movie 12th Academy Awards, it received 10 Academy Awards (eight competitive, two honorary) from 13 nominations, including wins for Best Picture, Best Director (Fleming), Best Adapted Screenplay (posthumously awarded to Sidney Howard), Best Actress (Leigh), and Best Supporting Actress (Hattie McDaniel, becoming the first African American to win an Academy Award). It set records for the total number of wins and nominations at the time. “Gone With the Wind” was immensely popular when first released. It became the highest-earning film made up to that point, and held the record for over a quarter of a century. When adjusted for monetary inflation, it is still the highest-grossing film in history. It was re-released periodically throughout the 20th century and became ingrained in popular culture. Although the film has been criticized as historical negationism glorifying slavery, it has been credited with triggering changes in the way in which African Americans are depicted cinematically. The film is regarded as one of the greatest films of all time; it has placed in the top 10 of the American Film Institute’s list of the top 100 American films since the list’s inception in 1998. In 1989, the United States Library of Congress selected it for preservation in the National Film Registry. Some of the ladies of Cottonwood were treated to going on an Outing with the AC to the Gone With the Wind Museum in Marietta. Getting ready to go on adventure Fun was had by all.

What makes Butler unforgettable for readers is his unsettling moral ambiguity, which Clark Gable brilliantly communicated from the screen in the movie version of Mitchell's work. Her clever choice of Butler's wartime calling aggravates the unease with which readers contemplate Butler, for the author made him a blockade runner. As hard as Butler is to figure out-a true scoundrel or simply a great pretender?-so is it hard to morally or historically pigeonhole the blockade running captains of the Confederacy.

    Museum of History and Holocaust Education Legacy Series Jean Ousley Interview Conducted by Adina Langer January 29, 2018 Transcribed by Adina Langer Born in 1945, Jean Ousley met her father for the first time after he returned from service in World War II. Her mother worked at the Kellogg Plant in Battle Creek, Michigan, and then as a welder at a factory in California. As an adult, Ousley led the Georgia chapter of the American Rosie the Riveter Association because of her mother’s contributions to the war effort. Full Transcript Interviewer: Today is January 29, 2018. My name is Adina Langer, and I'm the curator of the Museum of History and Holocaust Education at Kennesaw State University, and I'm here at the Sturgis Library with Jean Ousley. First of all, do you agree to this interview? Ousley: Yes, absolutely. Interviewer: Could you please state your full name? Ousley: Interesting, because I told you I'm Jean, but remember, my story is that I'm Gloria Jean. I was named because my grandmother wanted my name to be Gloria, but then I think my mother was trying to exert her independence, and she never called me Gloria. So Jean is—Gloria Jean Spriggs Ousley. Interviewer: OK. And what's your birthday? Ousley: April 22, 1945. Interviewer: And where were you born? Ousley: I was born in Gainesville in the Hall County Hospital in Gainesville, Georgia. Interviewer: So, before we talk about your childhood, I'd like to go back a bit further and talk about your parents. What were your parents' names? Ousley: My father was Samuel Eldo Spriggs—the middle name kind of unusual—from basically Gwinnett County, Georgia, I guess.

  • A Feminist Analysis of Margaret Mitchell's Gone with the Wind
    www.ijcrt.org © 2018 IJCRT | Volume 6, Issue 1 January 2018 | ISSN: 2320-2882 “Drapes” and “new dress”: A Feminist Analysis of Margaret Mitchell’s Gone with the Wind Sanya Khan, M.A. in English, Jamia Millia Islamia University Dr. M.Q. Khan, Principal, GCD, Itanagar Neither Melanie Hamilton Wilkes nor Scarlett O’Hara is born a woman but become so due to the social constructs around them. However, Scarlett is the rebel who emerges above the womanhood she was born into. Set in the backdrop of the American Civil War, Margaret Mitchel’s Gone with the Wind invites a feminist analysis for its delineation of the paradoxical women characters like Melanie Hamilton Wilkes, the traditional Southern lady and Scarlett O’Hara, the belle-gone-bad. If one portrays the Damsel in Distress, the other is the femme fatalè. Scarlett represents the new woman who knows how to survive as the fittest creature in this world like a Darwinian human. Melanie and even Scarlett’s mother are the misfit ones due to their psycho-physical frailty and superficial femininity. The society for which they offer their frailty and weakness fails to save them from death and destruction. The ultimate death of these ladies symbolise the downfall of the conventional womanhood and gives space for the rise of the strong, independent woman that Scarlett is. Melanie is portrayed as innocent, affectionate and submissive. She "Spoke kind and flattering words from a desire to make people happy" as Mitchell puts it (Faust, 10). She is too naive to fathom the evil around her like Jane Bennet of Pride and Prejudice.

  • Business Ethos and Gender in Margaret Mitchell's Gone with The
    Business Ethos and Gender in Margaret Mitchell’s Gone with the Wind Krisztina Lajterné Kovács University of Debrecen [email protected] Abstract After the American Civil War, in the Southern agricultural states the rise of capitalist culture and the emergence of a peculiar business ethos in the wake of Reconstruction did not take place without conflicts. Margaret Mitchell’s Gone with the Wind dramatizes the outsets of these economic changes which were intertwined with gender aspects, all the more so, since the antebellum Southern system was built on the ideology of radical sexual differences. Scarlett O’Hara emerges as a successful businesswoman whose career mirrors the development of Atlanta to an industrial center. This aspect of the novel, however, is mostly silenced or marginalized in criticism. Now, with the help of the economic and social theories of Max Weber, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, and Jessica Benjamin, I am reading business and financial success in terms of rationality, irrationality, masculinity, femininity, and violence versus aggressiveness to sketch a portrait of a businessman. Keywords: Gender, Economics, Binary Oppositions, Separate Spheres “If [ Gone with the Wind ] is indeed propaganda, it is not for a return to plantation life and economy, but for the very marketplace, laissez-faire ethic which made Margaret Mitchell so popular” (Adams 59). This comment by Amanda Adams highlights the curious fact that the story of Scarlett O’Hara as she is becoming a successful business(wo)man in Atlanta, which indeed constitutes the

  • Open Tiffany Wesner Thesis Final
    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DIVISION OF HUMANITIES, ARTS AND SOCIAL SCIENCES GONE WITH THE WIND AND ITS ENDURING APPEAL TIFFANY WESNER SPRING 2014 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a Baccalaureate Degree in American Studies with honors in American Studies Reviewed and approved* by the following: Raymond Allan Mazurek Associate Professor of English Thesis Supervisor Sandy Feinstein Associate Professor of English Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i ABSTRACT The white antebellum woman has occupied an evolving archetypal status in American culture throughout the twentieth century. In 1936, Margaret Mitchell published Gone with the Wind and extended the tradition of featuring Southern belles in novels. However, Mitchell chose to alter stereotypical depictions of her heroine and incorporate a theme of survival. Her main character, Scarlett O'Hara, was a prototypical Southern woman of her day. Scarlett was expected to conform to rigidly defined social boundaries but, through acts of defiance and independence, she forged new paths for herself and her family along her route to survival. This thesis investigates the 1939 film adaptation of Mitchell's novel and the contributions of David O. Selznick, Vivien Leigh, and Hattie McDaniel to the story that chronicled Scarlett's transformation from stereotypical Southern belle to independent survivor. This analysis demonstrates that Scarlett depicted the new Southern Woman whose rising to define a diversity of roles embodied the characteristics of the New Woman. The film’s feminist message, romantic grandeur, ground-breaking performances, themes of survival through times of crisis, and opulent feminine appeal all combined in Gone With the Wind to create an American classic with enduring appeal.

Gone with the Wind and the Myth of the Lost Cause An Honors Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for Honors in the Department of Literature. By Caitlin M. Hall Under the mentorship of Joe Pellegrino ABSTRACT Margaret Mitchell’s Gone with the Wind is usually considered a sympathetic portrayal of the suffering and deprivation endured by Southerners during the Civil War. I argue the opposite, that Mitchell is subverting the Southern Myth of the Lost Cause, exposing it as hollow and ultimately self-defeating.
