The Awakening
(Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
Description
First appearing in 1899 The Awakening is regarded as work presaging both feminist fiction and literary modernism. The author's clear vision of a woman's internal and external conflicts continue to demand engagement and response from readers.
The Awakening follows Edna Pontellier as she recognizes and attempts to deal with her confining lot as a woman and mother in the 19th century American South. Torn between traditional roles and an inchoate desire for independence and a more passionate life, she faces more than one difficult choice, leading to a grim reckoning. Initially receiving a mixed critical reception, including much condemnation for its frank depiction of adultery, the novel has gone on to be recognized as both a classic piece of fiction and a groundbreaking work of women's realism. The poignant portrayal of the protagonist attempting to determine her true feminine identity makes this one of the first novels willing to openly confront women's issues, to make clear that traditional roles could be limiting and to legitimatize an emotional life that transcended society's boundaries.
With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The Awakening is both modern and readable.

- bioText:
Kate Chopin (1850-1904) was an American author of short stories and novels. Disheartened following the death of both her husband and mother, she was advised by her doctor to try writing with striking results. Her work reflected unexpected and unexamined elements of Victorian society and was often criticized as inappropriate or immoral. Her most distinguished novel The Awakening was controversial in its time but has gone on to great acclaim. Chopin's fame and recognition have largely been posthumous but she is now seen as a key figure in American fiction.
