In lyrical and impressionistic prose, Chopin conveys “a part of female experience that had never before been acknowledged” (Barbara Kingsolver) —the inner turmoil of a young woman unable to find a way of living in the world that accommodates the person she has discovered herself to be. Its unflinching truth continues to resonate with readers even now, cementing The Awakening as Chopin’s most famous and influential work.

作者介紹

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.

Laura R. Fisher is an associate professor of English at Toronto Metropolitan University. She is the author of Reading for Reform: The Social Work of Literature in the Progressive Era.
