Book Description:
From the Publisher:
Kate Chopin's classic, an American Anna Karenina, joins Canongate's Canons series.
With an introduction by Barbara Kingsolver
Edna Pontellier is a young woman living comfortably in the beautiful city of New Orleans. She is fond of her husband and proud of her sons but finds it impossible to accept that “for women it is a holy privilege to efface themselves as individuals.” She fights back in the only way she knows, and her solution is extreme. Infamous in its time, The Awakening is now recognized as a radical work of fiction—sensuous, arresting, and clear–eyed in its commitment to freedom and independence. Kate Chopin was born in St. Louis, Missouri in 1850; The Awakening was her third novel.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. HarperCollins is proud to present its range of best-loved, essential classics. I would give up the unessential; I would give my money, I would give my life for my children; but I wouldn't give myself.Heralded as one of the first instances of feminist literature and rejected at its time of publication by the literary set on grounds of moral distaste, Kate Chopins The Awakening caused consternation in 1899.Constrained and confined by the limitations surrounding marriage and motherhood in the late 1800s, Edna Pontellier begins to challenge the notion of femininity through her thoughts and actions. Questioning her love for her husband, and opening herself up to the possibilities of other men and a life outside of societal convention leads to a gradual awakening of her desires.Chopins fascinating exploration of one woman challenging the expectation that surrounds her is powerful, daring and ultimately tragic in its conclusions. HarperCollins is proud to present its range of best-loved, essential classics. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
