Zusammenfassung:"For years, Kate Chopin's The Awakening (1899) languished. Critics had praised her short stories for their regional flavor, mastery of dialect, and depiction of the South, but it wasn't until the 1950s that Chopin's most important work, The Awakening, came to the literary forefront. Critic Van Wyck Brooks called it "one small perfect book that mattered more than the whole life-work of many a prolific writer." Now, Chopin's work is known for its play with narrative styles, as well as its examinations into the complexities of women's interior lives, the imprisoning potential of marriage, the frank discussion of women's sexuality, and the belief in women as creative, autonomous, and sexual beings. With The Awakening, Chopin found herself and her book labeled 'immoral', 'licentious', and 'ugly', yet her work helped move American literature from Victorian novels to modern narratives for a new century."
