The Awakening, as the authoress' last masterpiece, also sharing one fate with Hardy's last one, was finally recognized and even praised as "beautifully written" by Edmund Wilson, and "exquisite" and "sensitive" by Willa Cather. However, the praised didn't live as long as Hardy, who finally outlived the thrusts and cuts.
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.
文筆可以,故事略微蒼白。
評分兩年前讀的,很喜歡很喜歡。最近看莫傢姐妹又想起瞭這本書。主人公的名字老讓我想到Edma,最後又一個人開始畫畫什麼的。
評分超送的書~ 一點都讀不下去瞭,我不明白女性主義在他眼裏怎麼會成這麼荒誕的樣子~也許這次經曆就是荒誕的。對不起,這本書,我沒法把你讀下去瞭~
評分維基說Kate Chopin的這本書遠遠超齣自己的時代以緻作者和作品都未能被認同。但是今天,Edina的睏惑已經不再是禁區,一個女性主義者甚至會一邊讀一邊窺視自己的內心。
評分從語言到意義我都很喜歡這部小說,平靜的敘述著內心的躁動不安(p.s...也就文學這種奇葩專業的學生纔會在期末拼命看小說吧...)
<The Awakening>写于1899年, 出版后因主题的尺度遭受监禁和批评, 直到作者去世几十年后才被认定为19世纪美国文学的重要一章. 书里有一个美丽的女人, 已婚, 成为丈夫和儿子的财产. 晒了一夏天太阳和遇到情人之后她决定不再昏头昏脑的活着. 是悲剧还是希望别人无法评判, 醒来的...
評分今晚一口气读完《觉醒》这本书,原名为《孤独的灵魂》(A Solitary Soul)。在读之前并不知道还有这个如此喜欢的原名,就连作者是谁都不知道,对小说的背景也毫不了解。只是看着名字感觉还不错,页数也不是很多,应该可以在较短时间内读完,拿来练习一下速读应该还可以。没想到...
評分在《觉醒》的第三章中,受到丈夫莫名其妙的责难后,因为心中“一股难以言喻的抑郁之感”,使艾德娜“眼泪来得太凶,睡袍的袖子已经湿透,无法再擦拭更多的泪水了”。至第十七章,回到漫步大道上的好宅后,艾德娜不再“唯夫是从”,甚至“脱下结婚戒指,丢到地毯上”。虽然其后...
評分《橘子红了》中看到一本书《觉醒》,它引导秀禾挣脱命运的枷锁,她的挣扎,她的探索在生命的最后一刻做了终结。那时候,耀辉正牵着新娘的手在众人的祝福声中步入教堂,空旷的拱形屋顶回荡着美妙的乐章。 信手就拿了这本书,一如平时,一切皆因直觉。全英文版本,字字句句...
