Sažetak

The essay is an analysis of a term known in American historiography as Lost Cause, but also a critique of the 1939 film Gone With the Wind. The fundamental aim of this paper is to examine whether the latter film represents Lost Cause’s thesis, as recent critics claim. First, the development and main theses of the mentioned term are explained, while moving on to a critical reappraisal afterwards. The critical analysis deals with finding and analyzing each individual Lost Cause element. Once they are detected and explained, an attempt is made to confront and refute them with arguments, and a new evaluation of the film is ultimately given.
