Beschreibung:
Kate Chopin was born on February 8, 1850, to an affluent family in St. Louis, Missouri. In 1870, she moved with her husband to his native New Orleans. Chopin began her literary career at the age of thirty-six, as a recently widowed mother of six. From 1890 to 1897, Chopin published her first novel, At Fault, and nearly one hundred short stories, collected in Bayou Folk and A Night in Acadie. Chopin's stories were widely read, appearing in leading magazines of the day. Her most famous novel, The Awakening, faced wide condemnation upon its release in 1899 for its morally ambivalent subject matter. It has since become recognized as an essential work of early feminist fiction. Kate Chopin died on August 22, 1904.
Included here are: a preface, a critical essay and explanatory annotations by Margo Culley; essays by acclaimed Kate Chopin biographers; selections from the conduct books of the period; contemporary perspectives on womanhood, motherhood and marriage; and reviews and interpretative essays.
This perennial favourite Norton Critical Edition of Kate Chopin's modernist novel of marital infidelity is now available in a new edition.
