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.
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.

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……
评分再过了一遍,这版的优点在书中的法语基本都有脚注译文,后面还有时代背景、当时的评论和近年的研究。但是这本书从60年代被发掘出来到90年代出诺顿这版,可能时间跨度还是太短了,感觉所选的研究文章没有很出彩。
评分很喜欢。早餐时躲在寝室读的。马堡阳光很好 看大半个白天
评分The awakening of a woman of being herself not anyone else, to some extent, must have a beloved man’s participation. The man during the process, should play more a supporter than a trigger, which echoes the core of the modern sexuality and HeForShe campaign. A woman should never be yoked to their conventional social identity as a wife or a mother.
