The Awakening is a novel by Kate Chopin, first published in
1899. Set in Louisiana at the end of the nineteenth century, the
plot centers on Edna Pontellier and her struggle to reconcile
her increasingly unorthodox views on femininity and motherhood
with the prevailing social attitudes of the turn-of-the-century
American South. It is widely seen as a landmark work of early
feminism, generating mixed reaction from contemporary readers
and criticism. The novel's blend of realistic narrative,
incisive social commentary, and psychological complexity makes
The Awakening a precursor of American modernist literature.
Characters: 42. Amazon rating: 4 1/2 stars. Genre: Fiction.
