The Awakening and Selected Short Stories by Kate Chopin -
Kate Chopin was an American author of short stories and novels based in Louisiana. She is considered by scholars to have been a forerunner of American 20th-century feminist authors of Southern or Catholic background, such as Zelda Fitzgerald, and is one of the most frequently read and recognized writers of Louisiana Creole heritage.
She is best known today for her 1899 novel
The Awakening.
Of maternal French and paternal Irish descent, Chopin was born in St. Louis, Missouri. She married and moved with her husband to New Orleans. They later lived in the country in Cloutierville, Louisiana. From 1892 to 1895, Chopin wrote short stories for both children and adults that were published in such national magazines as
Atlantic Monthly,
Vogue,
The Century Magazine, and
The Youth’s Companion. Her stories aroused controversy because of her subjects and her approach; they were condemned as immoral by some critics.
Her major works were two short story collections and two novels. The collections are
Bayou Folk (1894) and
A Night in Acadie (1897). Her important short stories included ‘Désirée’s Baby’ (1893), a tale of miscegenation in antebellum Louisiana, ‘The Story of an Hour’ (1894), and ‘The Storm’ (1898). ‘The Storm’ is a sequel to ‘At the Cadian Ball, ‘ which appeared in her first collection of short stories,
Bayou Folk.
Chopin also wrote two novels:
At Fault (1890) and
The Awakening (1899), which are set in New Orleans and Grand Isle, respectively. The characters in her stories are usually residents of Louisiana, and many are Creoles of various ethnic or racial backgrounds. Many of her works are set in Natchitoches in north-central Louisiana, a region where she lived.
