Lilian Hellman

An American author.

Little Foxes

Set on a plantation in 1900, Hellman attempts to show that by this time any notion of antebellum Southern gentility has been destroyed by modern capitalism and industrialism. Three Hubbard siblings (Regina and her two brothers) scheme to earn vast riches at the expense of other family members, such as Regina’s husband Horace and their daughter Alexandra. The title is taken from the Old Testament Song of Solomon: “the little foxes that spoil the vines.”
