About this item

Product details

Do you want to read The Awakening, and Selected Short Stories? If so then keep reading...

The Awakening shocked turn-of-the-century readers with its forthright treatment of sex and suicide. Departing from literary convention, Kate Chopin failed to condemn her heroine's desire for an affair with the son of a Louisiana resort owner, whom she meets on vacation. The power of sensuality, the delusion of ecstatic love, and the solitude that accompanies the trappings of middle- and upper-class life are the themes of this now-classic novel. As Kaye Gibbons points out in her Introduction, Chopin "was writing American realism before most Americans could bear to hear that they were living it."

Title

The Awakening: and Selected Short Stories

Issue

Several editions of "The Awakening" exist, with varying page counts, publishers, publication dates, and ISBNs. Some editions also include additional stories by Kate Chopin. The original publication date was 1899, but modern editions have been published much later. The novel's themes of female desire, societal constraints, and suicide were considered shocking for its time and led to its initial neglect.
