ABOUT THE BOOK AND AUTHOR The Awakening was written by Kate Chopin (1850-1904) and is her second novel. It was first published in 1899. The Awakening is set in Louisiana in the late 19th century. The plot centers on a married woman, Edna Pontellier, and her struggle between her increasingly unorthodox views on femininity and motherhood with the prevailing social attitudes of the turn-of-the-century American South. She seeks greater personal freedom and a more fulfilling life. This novel is seen as a landmark American novel of early femimism. Kate Chopin was an American author who wrote short stories and two novels set in Louisiana, USA. The two novels are At Fault (1890) and The Awakening (1899). The two short story collections are Bayou Folk (1894) and A Night in Acadie (1897). Kate Chopin is a frequently read and recognized writer of Louisana Creole heritage.

Autorenporträt

Kate Chopin (born Katherine O'Flaherty; February 8, 1850 - August 22, 1904), was an American author of short stories and novels based in Louisiana. She is now considered by some scholars to have been a forerunner of American 20th-century feminist authors of Southern or Catholic background, such as Zelda Fitzgerald. Of maternal French and paternal Irish descent, Chopin was born in St. Louis, Missouri. She married and moved with her husband to New Orleans. They later lived in the country in Cloutierville, Louisiana. From 1892 to 1895, Chopin wrote short stories for both children and adults that were published in such national magazines as Atlantic Monthly, Vogue, The Century Magazine, and The Youth's Companion. Her stories aroused controversy because of her subjects and her approach; they were condemned as immoral by some critics. Her major works were two short story collections: Bayou Folk (1894) and A Night in Acadie (1897). Her important short stories included "Désirée's Baby" (1893), a tale of miscegenation in antebellum Louisiana, "The Story of an Hour" (1894), and "The Storm" (1898). "The Storm" is a sequel to "At the Cadian Ball," which appeared in her first collection of short stories, Bayou Folk. Chopin also wrote two novels: At Fault (1890) and The Awakening (1899), which are set in New Orleans and Grand Isle, respectively. The characters in her stories are usually residents of Louisiana. Many of her works are set in Natchitoches in north central Louisiana, a region where she lived. Within a decade of her death, Chopin was widely recognized as one of the leading writers of her time.
