Very good in Good jacket. xxxvi, [2], 441, [1] pages. Footnotes. Illustrations. Index. DJ has some wear, soiling, tears and chips. Margaret Munnerlyn Mitchell (November 8, 1900-August 16, 1949) was an American novelist and journalist. Mitchell wrote only one novel, published during her lifetime, the American Civil War-era novel Gone with the Wind, for which she won the National Book Award for Most Distinguished Novel of 1936 and the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1937. Long after her death, a collection of Mitchell's girlhood writings and a novella she wrote as a teenager, titled Lost Laysen, were published. A collection of newspaper articles written by Mitchell for The Atlanta Journal was republished in book form. Richard (Barksdale) Harwell (1915-88) was Bowdoin College's librarian from 1961-68. Before coming to Bowdoin, Harwell was educated in Atlanta Public schools. Born on June 6, 1915 in Washington, Ga., Harwell furthered his education at Emory University, where he received his Library of Science degree (1938). For the next two years (1938-40), he was assistant to the director of the George Washington Flowers Memorial Collection of Southern Americana at the Duke University Library. He served his country as lieutenant for the U.S. Navy during World War II (1943-46). He returned to his alma mater and was named assistant librarian in 1948. From 1954-56, he was the director of the Southeastern Interlibrary Research Facility; from 1956-57, he was the director of publications for the Virginia State Library. A noted Civil War historian, Harwell was also author of several books, numerous articles and hundreds of reviews. Derived from a New York Times review: "Margaret Mitchell's 'Gone With the Wind' Letters" is accurately named, for the volume is made up almost exclusively of letters concerned with the novel and the film. Always determined to preserve her privacy, Miss Mitchell destroyed many purely personal letters. Her other papers, after her death and the death of her husband, passed into the hands of her brother, Stephens Mitchell, who in 1970 gave them to the University of Georgia. If a selection of the letters was to be published, a procedure to which Mr. Mitchell reluctantly agreed, it was natural to put them in the hands of Richard Harwell, the curator of rare books and Georgian history at the University of Georgia Library, author of several books on the Confederacy and editor of many others. Her constant writing of letters had something to do with the development of her style, but again the virtues of the style, though real, are out of proportion to the success of the book. The letters have plenty of interest in their own right. Her letters acknowledging favorable reviews were not merely appreciative but warmhearted and detailed. For instance, she wrote Herschel Brickell of The New York Evening Post: "I am Margaret Mitchell, of Atlanta, author of 'Gone With the Wind, ' and I want to thank you so very much for the marvelous review you gave me on June 30....Thank you for picking up the parallel between Scarlett and Atlanta. No one else (as far as I know) caught it. Thank you for going on record that while my story 'borders on the melodramatic' at times, the times of which I wrote were melodramatic. Well, they were but it takes a person with a Southern background to appreciate just how melodramatic they really were. I had to tone down so much, that I had taken from actual incidents, just to make them sound barely credible. And thank you for your defense of Captain Butler and his credibility." Either she wrote almost no letters quarreling with reviewers editor omitted them. She had to leave Smith College after her mother's death to keep house for her father and brother. For a time she worked on The Atlanta Journal, but she broke her ankle, developed arthritis, and was on crutches for three years, a period during which she read quantities of books about the Civil War and the history of Atlanta. The writing of "GWTW" was...
