The Awakening Paperback / softback
by Kate Chopin
Part of the Foundations of Feminist Fiction series
Paperback / softback
Description
Written in the late Victorian era, The Awakening features a young woman who flings aside the norms of society and rejects her role as wife and mother.
She abandons her family for a hedonistic and contrarian lifestyle before eventually committing suicide.
The novel deals with the issues of interracial marriage and contains passages of overt sexuality, both of which contributed to the widespread outcry upon its original publication in 1899.
Today it is seen as a portent of the future and admired for its direct and naturalistic style. Flame Tree 451 presents a new series, The Foundations of Feminist Fiction.
The early 1900s saw a quiet revolution in literature previously dominated by male adventure heroes.
Both men and women moved beyond the norms of the male gaze to write from a different gender perspective, sometimes with female protagonists, but also expressing the universal freedom to write on any subject whatsoever.
Each book features a brand new biography and a glossary of literary terms.
