Publication Type: Proceeding Abstract: In this paper I re-evaluate the merits of Margaret Mitchell�s historical novel, Gone with the Wind. Though many dismiss Mitchell�s novel as a romance, an implicitly (or explicitly) racist condemnation of Northern aggression, and/or a romanticization of the ante-bellum South, I argue that the novel is in fact an insightful, critical, and complex work with philosophical import and political relevance. I draw attention to Mitchell's use of the German concept of the Gotterdammerung (the twilight of the gods) and to her implicit criticism of those who would wish to maintain obsolete traditions in a new world. Best understood as an intelligent, philosophically aware, immanently critical allegory about the rise and fall of civilizations, Gone with the Wind has much to teach us about the foundation of Southern national identity, the South�s historical memory of the Civil War, and what it takes to survive a great social upheaval and to prosper even after the twilight of the gods.
