 | The Awakening & Selected Short Stories by Kate Chopin, Marilynne Robinson, Sandra M. Gilbert
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. AUTHOR: Kate Chopin, Marilynne Robinson, Sandra M. Gilbert
