The Awakening: and Selected Short Stories

Publisher Marketing: Welcome to the world of Mogul Classics Books. In this classic edition of The Awakening by Kate Chopin, we are proud to offer you the best paperback edition of this classic novel by one of the most loved and timeless authors of all times. The Awakening, originally titled A Solitary Soul, was first published in 1899. Set in New Orleans and the Southern Louisiana coast at the end of the nineteenth century, the plot centers on Edna Pontellier and her struggle to reconcile her increasingly unorthodox views on femininity and motherhood with the prevailing social attitudes of the turn-of-the-century American South. It is one of the earliest American novels that focuses on women's issues without condescension. It is also widely seen as a landmark work of early feminism, generating mixed reaction from contemporary readers and criticism. The novel's blend of realistic narrative, incisive social commentary, and psychological complexity makes The Awakening a precursor of American modernist literature; it prefigures the works of American novelists such as William Faulkner and Ernest Hemingway and echoes the works of contemporaries such as Edith Wharton and Henry James. It can also be considered among the first Southern works in a tradition that would culminate with the modern masterpieces of Faulkner, Flannery O'Connor, Eudora Welty, Katherine Anne Porter, and Tennessee Williams. As you read this Mogul Classics Books edition of Kate Chopin's The Awakening, you will relive one of the most acclaimed novels of the early 20th century. Contributor Bio:  Chopin, Kate Kate Chopin was an author of short stories and novels, mostly of a Louisiana Creole background. She is now considered to have been a forerunner of feminist authors of the 20th century.
