Delphi Complete Works of Kate Chopin (Illustrated)

The American novelist and short story writer Kate Chopin was noted for her depiction of Southern folk life in ‘local color’. Her masterpiece ‘The Awakening’ is a realistic novel about the sexual and artistic awakening of a young wife and mother, who abandons her family. Although at first condemned for its sexual frankness and portrayal of interracial marriage, it is now recognised as a masterpiece of American modernist fiction, foreshadowing feminist literary themes.
