Gone with the Wind

　　The most popular romance novel of all time was the basis for the most popular movie of all time (in today's dollars). Margaret Mitchell's book, Gone with the Wind, set in the South during the Civil War, won both the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award, and it remains popular, despite charges that its author had a blind eye regarding the horrors of slavery.

　　Leaves of Grass

　　The publication of the first slim edition of Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass in 1855 was the first appearance of a masterpiece that shifted the course of American literary history. Refreshing and bold in both theme and style, the book experienced many revisions during Whitman's lifetime. Over almost 40 years Whitman produced multiple editions of Leaves of Grass, shaping the book into an ever­transforming kaleidoscope (千变万化) of poems. By his death in 1892, Leaves was a thick summary that represented Whitman's view of America over nearly the entire last half of the 19th century. Among the collection's best­known poems are I Sing the Body Electric, Song of Myself, and O Captain! My Captain! in praise of Abraham Lincoln.

　　The American Woman's Home

　　This classic domestic guide, The American Woman's Home, by sisters Catharine E. Beecher and Harriet Beecher Stowe is devoted to “the women of America, in whose hands rest the real fates of the Republic.” It includes chapters on healthful cookery, home decoration, exercise, cleanliness, good air ventilation (通风方法) and heat, etiquette, sewing, gardening and care of children, the sick, the aged and domestic animals. Intended to elevate the “woman's sphere” of household management to a respectable profession based on scientific principles, it became the standard domestic handbook.
