In 1934, 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 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 authors, and found Margaret Mitchell.
Miller was fascinated by the other Old South-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, this 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.
