Her seminal novel, The Awakening, published in 1899, explored new and startling territory, and stunned readers with its frank depiction of the limits of marriage and motherhood. Chopin's aesthetic tastes and cultural influences were drawn from both the European and American traditions, and her manipulation of her "foreignness" contributed to the composition of a complex voice that was strikingly different to that of her contemporaries. The essays in this companion treat a wide range of Chopin's stories and novels, drawing her relationship with other writers, genres and literary developments, and pay close attention to the transatlantic dimension of her work. The result is a collection that brings a fresh perspective to Chopin's writing, one that will appeal to researchers and students of American, nineteenth-century, and feminist literature. 600 10 $a Chopin, Kate, $d 1850-1904 $x Criticism and interpretation. 700 1 $a Beer, Janet, $d 1956- 856 42 $3 Contributor biographical information $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0905/2009290155-b.html 856 42 $3 Publisher description $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0905/2009290155-d.html 856 41 $3 Table of contents only $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0905/2009290155-t.html 941 $a 6 952 $l PNAX964 $d 20200829010951.0 952 $l PMAX975 $d 20191119044126.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180116025033.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160824085924.0 952 $l OSAX771 $d 20100503131825.0 952 $l PTAX572 $d 20100120073657.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5ABCE4B882A711DE820800E8A7D7520A 994 $a 01 $b IWGInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
