Commentary Concering Books Lamb in His Bosom

In 1934, Caroline Miller's novel Lamb in His Bosom won the Pulitzer Prize for Literature. It was the first novel by a Georgia author to win a Pulitzer, soon followed by Margaret Mitchell's Gone With the Wind in 1937. In fact, Lamb was largely responsible for the discovery of Gone With the Wind; after reading Miller's novel, Macmillan editor Harold S. Latham sought other southern novels and authors, and found Margaret Mitchell.

Caroline Miller was fascinated by the other Old South—not the romantic inhabitants of Gone With the Wind, but rather the poor people of the south Georgia backwoods, who never owned a slave or planned to fight a war. The story of Cean and Lonzo, a young couple who begin their married lives two decades before the Civil War, Lamb in His Bosom is a fascinating account of social customs and material realities among settlers of the Georgia frontier. At the same time, Lamb in His Bosom transcends regional history as Miller's quietly lyrical prose style pays poignant tribute to a woman's life lived close to nature—the nature outside her and the nature within.

Assess About Books Lamb in His Bosom

In 1934, Caroline Miller won the Pulitzer Prize for Literature for Lamb in His Bosom. She was the first Georgian to win this award, soon followed by Margaret Mitchell's Gone with the Wind. Both novelists explored the life of Georgians. However, Ms. Miller wrote about the poor farmers who did not own slaves and who labored from morning to night making a living.This book was a realistic picture of the life of a farmer, Lonzo, and his wife, Cean, in the period before the Civil War and contrasts

This winner of the Pulitzer Prize the year before Gone With The Wind is the life story of Cean and Lonzo who newly married set out to build their lives in the backwoods of Georgia. A simply told story ( including terms like howsomever) of the self reliance required in a time when the daily chores of life such as growing crops and raising 14 children made you very old before age 40. 4 stars Sept OTSLT

If you are looking for a book with a strong female protagonist, I highly recommend this regional novel set in rural Georgia in the first half of the 19th century. Although it shares a general setting with Gone in the Wind, the two books couldn't be further apart in culture. The white farmers in this part of Georgia struggle to scratch out an existence with their own sweat and savvy, not through slave labor. The women in this time not only toiled in the field alongside their husbands, but milled

My great-great aunt wrote this book and i have one of the first copies ever printed in 1933. i love the book because of all the work that she put into it just to write the story. Miller actually me with people and collected stories and wrote the book. it is very interesting from a historical and language aspect. read it!

I read Lambs in His Bosom after visiting the Margaret Mitchell house in Atlanta and learning that this novel was her favorite book. Fascinated and curious as to what moved Margaret Mitchell, I bought the book right there, in the gift shop and read it right away. It is interesting to me that the author who romanticized the old south aristocracy was influenced by a book about the southern poor, whose lives were so remote that they hardly knew there was a war going on beyond the boundary of their

Winner of the 1934 Pulitzer Prize, this novel portrays life in rural Georgia before the Civil War. Interesting mix of stories. I really liked the use of dialect in this book. The book also touched on different social issues of the time period. Interesting contrast to Gone with the Wind which won the Pulitzer Prize three years later.
