具体描述
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.
作者简介
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.

读后感
读完《觉醒》，心底里有点压抑，更偏向凯特 肖邦一开始对于这部著作的命名《孤独的灵魂》。 或许读一遍着实不足以洞悉作者在塑造人物形象和叙述故事情节时的用心良苦，但我仍然想把内心的切实感受叙述一二。 女主人公艾德娜觉醒的过程在一个女人不以自己独存而...
评分[CVoices约稿 请勿转载] 这大概是我读过的最压抑的一本书。心像是被绑上了石块一样，随着情节不停地往下堕，往下堕。我读过不少生命无法承受之重，但是唯独这本书给我带来的无力感把我压得喘不过起来。读到结局的时候，我在发抖；写这篇书评的时候，我还在发抖。 多少...
评分醒来了，却还是困着 2008-01-06 00:33 读了本书，后天就要考试，建筑物理，围护结构的传热人工光源的特性，种种的，更教人觉得无聊，觉得烦琐，；索性丢开，来敲几个段落。 书名“觉醒”，故事也平常，二十九岁的Edna忽然觉得人生不该是那样活，不该是那么守在家里...
用户评价
我承认我读一些女性主义作品的时候会感到不舒服，肖邦的这本是其中之一。我感到一种立刻投身伦理学，甚至道德学的冲动；不是为了守护某种道德观念，但至少也是想知道人应该如何应对这种情境。同学在课堂上将主人公的死亡解读成一种对于自己主体性的坚守与庆祝；我能理解她的解读是完全合理的，然而我大概永远不会选择这样去解读死亡。这已经完全是文本外的问题了。很少有作品能在文本外的世界展现出这么大的力量。老师说她的一个朋友，读完这本书就离婚了，然而后来再婚又生了孩子。这本书毫无疑问是引人深思的；令人困扰不是它的问题，而正是它的闪光点。我以后做了老师大概把这本书作为文学课程的必读书目，我想每个人都需要被这样困扰一下。
评分读到第五章关于海边的场景忽然觉得每个字都很让人震动，连最后的沉海场景也无法相比。。。
评分When Rober came into her life, her life-long,stupid dream was awakend. Her love for him, like the fire blazing her dark and withered world, led her to explore the unknown-self physically and spiritually. And his love, like the fuel to the fire, fulfilled and overwhelmed her hungry and tender heart, but it also destroyed it. Without his love supply, her self-built shelter was collapsed into pieces.
