Chapter 1-5 - The Awakening - Kate Chopin

The Modern Library edition of The Awakening has an introduction by Kay Gibbons, who writes: “The Awakening shocked turn-of-the-century readers with its forthright treatment of sex and suicide. Departing from literary convention, Kate Chopin failed to condemn her heroine’s desire for an affair with the son of a Louisiana resort owner, whom she meets on vacation. The power of sensuality, the delusion of ecstatic love, and the solitude that accompanies the trappings of middle- and upper-class life are the themes of this now-classic novel.” – As Kay Gibbons points out, Chopin “was writing American realism before most Americans could bear to hear that they were living it.” View our full collection of podcasts at our website: <a href="https://www.solgoodmedia.com" rel="noopener">https://www.solgoodmedia.com</a> or YouTube channel: <a href="http://www.solgood.org/subscribe" rel="noopener">www.solgood.org/subscribe</a> This is a Librivox Recording.
