The Awakening: The Original 1899 Classic and Other Short Stories

By: Kate Chopin

Upon its initial release in 1899, The Awakening startled readers with its candid exploration of female marital infidelity. In an era accustomed to the conventionalities of late Victorian romantic fiction, Kate Chopin's audacious narrative unveiled the story of a woman ensnared in a suffocating marriage, daringly seeking and discovering passionate love beyond the confines of her domestic sphere. Distinct Features: * Background Information / Historical Context * Thorough Map of Historical Events from the 19th Century Beyond its daring treatment of a once-taboo subject, the novel earns contemporary acclaim for its literary merits. Edmund Wilson hailed it as a "quite uninhibited and beautifully written" work that foreshadowed D. H. Lawrence's exploration of infidelity. While the theme of marital betrayal may no longer evoke shock, The Awakening endures as a rare gem that delves into the intricate psychology of a woman engaged in an illicit affair with the perceptiveness, artistry, and candor that define Kate Chopin 's masterful storytelling.
