This edition of Chopin's classic novel presents the 1969 Seyersted text along with five critical essays--newly commissioned of revised for a student audience--that read The Awakening from five contemporary critical perspectives.
Each critical essay is accompanied by a succinct introduction to the history, principles, and practice of the critical perspective, and a bibliography that promotes further exploration of that approach.
The text and essays are further complemented by an introduction providing biographical and historical contexts to Chopin and The Awakening, a survey of critical responses to the novel since its initial publication, and a glossary of critical and theoretical terms

Work Description
The Awakening is a novel by Kate Chopin, first published in 1899. Set in New Orleans and on the Louisiana Gulf coast at the end of the 19th century, the plot centers on Edna Pontellier and her struggle between her increasingly unorthodox views on femininity and motherhood with the prevailing social attitudes of the turn-of-the-century American South. It is one of the earliest American novels that focuses on women's issues without condescension. It is also widely seen as a landmark work of early feminism, generating a mixed reaction from contemporary readers and critics.
