The Awakening and Selected Stories
by Kate Chopin
- 2 Want to read
When The Awakening was first published in 1899, charges of sordidness and immorality seemed to consign it into obscurity and irreparably damage its author's literary and social reputation. But a century after her death, it is widely regarded as Kate Chopin's 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
