The novel's title Gone with the Wind refers to the death of the pre-Civil War way of life in the American South. Set during and after the Civil War, the novel illustrates the destruction of Southern men, women, and the institution of slavery. The title also alludes to a poem by Ernest Dowson entitled "Non sum Qualis Eram Bonae sub Regno Cynarae," which is about the loss of love.
