答案
Margaret Munnerlyn Mitchell (November 8,1900 – August 16,1949) was an American author and journalist.One novel by Mitchell was published during her lifetime,the American Civil War-era novel,Gone with the Wind.For it she won the National Book Award for Most Distinguished Novel of 1936[1] and the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1937.In more recent years,a collection of Mitchell's girlhood writings and a novella she wrote as a teenager,Lost Laysen,have been published.A collection of articles written by Mitchell for The Atlanta Journal was republished in book form.These additional works have enabled scholars and the public to more fully comprehend the richness and depth of Margaret Mitchell's writing.
Gone With the Wind
Mitchell's second marriage was to John Robert Marsh on July 4,1925,and the couple set up housekeeping in a small apartment affectionately called "the Dump." They entertained the newspaper crowd and other friends on a regular basis.Marsh,originally from Maysville,Kentucky,worked for the Georgia Railway and Power Company (later Georgia Power Company) as director of the publicity department.
In 1926,to relieve the boredom of being cooped up with a broken ankle,Mitchell began to write Gone With the Wind.Setting up her Remington typewriter on an old sewing table,she completed the majority of the book in three years.She wrote the last chapter first and the other chapters in no particular order.Stuffing the chapters into manila envelopes,she eventually accumulated almost seventy chapters.When visitors appeared,she covered her work with a towel,keeping her novel a secret.There has been much speculation on whether the characters were based on real people,but Mitchell claimed they were her own creations.

April 1935 Harold Latham,an editor for the Macmillan publishing company in New York City,toured the South looking for new manuscripts.Latham heard that Mitchell had been working on a manuscript and asked her if he could see it,but she denied having one.When a friend commented that Mitchell was not serious enough to write a novel,Mitchell gathered up many of the envelopes and took them to Latham at his hotel.He had to purchase a suitcase to carry them.He read part of the manuscript on the train to New Orleans,Louisiana,and sent it straight to New York.By July Macmillan had offered her a contract.She received a $500 advance and 10 percent of the royalties.
As she revised the manuscript,Mitchell cut and rearranged chapters,confirmed details,wrote the first chapter,changed the name of the main character (originally called Pansy),and struggled to think of a title that suited her.Titles considered included Tomorrow Is Another Day,Another Day,Tote the Weary Load,Milestones,Ba!Ba!Blacksheep,Not in Our Stars,and Bugles Sang True.Finally she settled on a phrase from a favorite poem by Ernest Dowson:
Mitchell with Cat
"I have forgot much,Cynara!gone with the wind,/ Flung roses,roses riotously with the throng." Published in 1936,Gone With the Wind was 1,037 pages long and sold for three dollars.
Gone With the Wind was a phenomenal success and received rave reviews.Overnight,Mitchell became a celebrity and remained very much in the public spotlight through the production and premiere of the film based on her novel in 1939.She was in constant demand for speaking engagements and interviews.At first she complied,but later,pleading poor health,she usually declined these requests and stopped autographing copies of her book.She said she wanted to remain simply Mrs.John Marsh.
