The second edition of this important canonical text is again based in the 1899 edition. The "Criticism" section has been greatly expanded to include more feminist appraisals, and a chronology has been added.
Kate Chopin, was born Katherine O'Flaherty in St. Louis on Feburary8,1851, of a prosperous Irish-born merchant father and an aristocratic Creole mother. She studied piano, wrote poetry, and read Dickens, Austen, Goethe, de Stael, and the Brontes. Despite her free spirit--she was once nicknamed the "littlest rebel" for yanking down a Union flag--Kate grew to be a leading social belle, admired for her wit and beauty.
In 1870 she married Oscar Chopin. Matrimony did not quell her independence; she dressed unconventionally, took long unchaperoned walks, and smoked cigarettes. In their twelve years of married life, she bore six children, and upon Oscar's sudden death in 1882 she took over the management of the Chopin family plantation in Natchitoches, Louisana. She turned seriously to writing shortly thereafter, publishing stories in Vogue and Atlantic Monthly. She wrote a novel, At Fault(1890), Bayou Folk, a collection of stories(1894), A Night in Acadie, a second collection (1897), and her masterpiece The Awakening(1899), which aroused a national scandal for its "indecency." Banned by libraries, it even prevented her admission into the St. Louis Fine Arts Club--even though Kate Chopin was famous for her literary salon, which attracted distinguished artists and writers from all over the country.
Always sensitive to criticism, Chopin was devastated by the furor that surrounded the publication of The Awakening, and its harsh reception ultimately caused her to stop writing. When she died in 1904, she had been denied the recognition she desperately wanted and richly deserved.
一部典型的关于女人的小说。看得很抑郁。一个女人即便清醒了,意识到自我的价值与实现,却发现自己无路可寻,只得用自杀的方式摆脱社会舆论和现有生活的束缚,重获自由。悲哀...
评分The artist must possess the courageous soul that dares and defies. 所有的女性主义小说似乎都面临着一个“出走之后”/“觉醒之后”的问题。结局是唯美而突兀的,似乎预示着一个永远无法解决的困境。btw作者文笔不错用词不难(生词几乎都是法语)但其实说实话故事有点玛丽苏…给我一种美国张爱玲的感觉!我很好奇这个女主到底有多美…A woman of great beauty, sensuality and sensibility is not suitable for a marriage!

评分又欺负我Dover Thrift Edition!Ethan Frome都没找到哼!//好爱Chopin!语言太美了!【承认吧我就是对女性主题感兴趣……
心理活动太多,故事有点压抑,而且文笔也不太是我喜欢的风格。用词比较简单,篇幅不长(是不是长篇小说啊?篇幅这么短)就这俩点来说诚意推荐。总之,个人感觉是时代意义大于艺术价值。 kate chopin还写过短篇,有些还是很有意思的
评分 评分 评分 评分[CVoices约稿 请勿转载] 这大概是我读过的最压抑的一本书。心像是被绑上了石块一样,随着情节不停地往下堕,往下堕。我读过不少生命无法承受之重,但是唯独这本书给我带来的无力感把我压得喘不过起来。读到结局的时候,我在发抖;写这篇书评的时候,我还在发抖。 多少...
