Awakening And Selected Stories
The Awakening and Selected Stories" is Kate Chopins groundbreaking depiction of a woman who dares to defy the expectations of society in the pursuit of her desire edited with an introduction by Sandra M. Gilbert in "Penguin Classics". When "The Awakening" was first published in 1899 charges of sordidness and immorality seemed to consign it into obscurity and irreparably damage its authors reputation. But a century after her death it is widely regarded as Kate Chopins great achievement. Through careful subtle changes of style Chopin shows the transformation of Edna Pontellier a young wife and mother who - with tragic consequences - refuses to be caged by married and domestic life and claims for herself moral and erotic freedom. In her introduction Sandra M. Gilbert
considers the issues explored in the novel and the stories collected here (including "Emancipation" "At the cadian Ball" and "Desirees baby") from their growth out of the feminist literary tradition of the nineteenth century to their place among other concerns of fin de siecle writers in America and Europe to their impact on contemporary feminist writing. Katherine OFlaherty (1850-1904) known by her married name Kate Chopin was an American author of short stories and novels. Her works appeared in literary magazines and popular American periodicals of the day including "Vogue and The Atlantic". In 1899 her second novel "The Awakening" was published to much outrage and harsh criticism based upon moral rather than literary standards. If you
enjoyed "The Awakening and Selected Stories" you might enjoy Jean Rhyss "Good Morning Midnight" also available in "Penguin Classics"."
