Book Description:
Complete, Authoritative Text With Biographical Historical Contexts, Critical History and Essays from Five Contemporary Critical Perspectives
Kate Chopin's novel is a probing psychological study of a woman who, oppressed by family life and her romantic difficulties, drowns herself in the ocean. It is also an examination of a particular culture at the end of the 19th century: the aristocratic society of southern Louisiana.
Condemned at the time it was written, "The Awakening" has been valued in later years for its unflinching honesty and sexual frankness.

Karen R. (Many of the same themes that show up in Chopin's other writings are addressed here, in what I would say her best work. This particular edition also contains a wealth of additional information about the novella which really expands the reading.
