The Awakening & Other Stories Hardback
by Kate Chopin
Part of the Macmillan Collector's Library series
Hardback
Description
Readers and critics were scandalized by The Awakening when it was first published, but it is now regarded as among the boldest and earliest examples of feminist fiction.
It is published here with a selection of Chopin’s strikingly perceptive short stories and introduced by Dr J.
Michelle Coghlan, a specialist in American literature. Part of the Macmillan Collector’s Library; a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket-sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers.
These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover.
In The Awakening, Edna Pontellier is on holiday with her husband and two young children at a sleepy resort town on the Louisiana Gulf Coast.
There, she is pursued by the charming and unmarried Robert Lebrun.
Edna doesn’t play by the rules; flirtation turns into an affair that awakens in Edna her desire to break away from her passionless marriage, her children and the strict conventions of nineteenth-century society.
