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.

評分 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...
評分读完肖班的《觉醒》有一阵子了,一直以此书之无聊低俗平庸而视如等闲 然而经典之于经典.其书的毕竟成功独到之处.竟在于其深刻揭示的人类社会历史文明之宿命.更在于对天命悲剧的重新诠释! 小说的故事情节普通得无需累述.写作手法也无多惊人之处.除能略反映的那一时代美国...

很喜歡。早餐時躲在寢室讀的。馬堡陽光很好 看大半個白天
评分又欺負我Dover Thrift Edition!Ethan Frome都沒找到哼!//好愛Chopin!語言太美瞭!【承認吧我就是對女性主題感興趣……
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.
评分不知為何,總感覺作者的寫作中帶著一種疏離感
评分我覺得Edna的想法很前衛,同時也很自私,同時Robert看似開放其實迂腐。在這裏沒有一個角色是完美的。但是看到Edna覺醒的過程,一步一步,慢慢摧毀自己建立的城堡,再建立起自己的巢穴,最後再一步步走嚮大海。一切好像很突然,實則一切結局在開頭便已經注定瞭。
