About the Author:
Darden Asbury Pyron is Professor of History at
Florida International University
"Riveting reading....Pyron offers a compelling portrait of the spirited, complex author of Gone With the Wind, a perceptive psychological analysis of the novel, and an examination of the work's changing critical fortunes as the South has been transformed....The reader is swept right along....A fascinating portrait."--Kirkus Reviews"Not just a biography of an interesting woman (although it certainly is that). It is also a fascinating portrait of the 'smart set' of the interwar South, a class itself now gone with the wind, yet one that in its time produced a remarkable outpouring of literary and journalistic talent. Pyron's account deserves the attention of anyone interested in twentieth-century Southern letters--or twentieth-century Southern life."--John Shelton Reed, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
