Originally published in 1932, Caldwell's novel told the story of
the Lester family, poor Georgia sharecroppers who no longer farmed
the land, but lived by whatever means possible. Caldwell's picture
of the rural South challenged notions of the dignified and polite
Antebellum South and depicted an image that was grotesque, violent,
and morally bankrupt. Southern readers immediately found Caldwell's
novel needlessly exaggerated and offensive, while Northern critics
read his story as an indictment upon a failed Southern economic
system in dire need of reform.
