Verdict: Prolific film reviewer Haskell delivers an accessible and entertaining analysis of Gone with the Wind's enduring popularity. Recommended for all collections. Background: The novel and the film versions of Gone with the Wind are American icons, and Haskell (From Reverence to Rape: The Treatment of Women in the Movies) nimbly breaks down the complicated network of stereotypes, archetypes, and mythology at the heart of the story that keep it so captivating and controversial. This book will appeal to anyone who has ever seen the movie, read the book, or just wondered what exactly the fuss was about.-John Helling, Bloomfield-Eastern Greene Cty.
