Kate Chopin - A Literary Life (Hardcover, New)

In a career that lasted little more than a decade, Kate Chopin became well-known for stories set in the Creole and Acadian regions of Louisiana, but her masterwork, The Awakening (1899), told the daring story of a woman who defied social and sexual conventions, eliciting negative reviews that denied Chopin prominence until the middle of the 20th Century. Kate Chopin: A Literary Life sets the author in the context of 19th Century American women writers to show how standards of literary propriety affected the career of a major American writer.
