The Awakening is a novel by Kate Chopin. Set in New Orleans and the Southern Louisiana coast 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 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 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; it prefigures the works of American novelists such as William Faulkner and Ernest Hemingway and echoes the works of contemporaries such as Edith Wharton and Henry James. It can also be considered among the first Southern works in a tradition that would culminate with the modern masterpieces of Faulkner, Flannery O'Connor, Eudora Welty, Katherine Anne Porter, and Tennessee Williams. Kate Chopin's narrative style in The Awakening can be categorized as naturalism. Chopin's novel bears the hallmarks of Maupassant's style: a perceptive focus on human behavior and the complexities of social structures. This demonstrates Chopin's admiration for the French short story writer Guy de Maupassant, yet another example of the enormous influence Maupassant exercised on nineteenth-century literary realism. However, Chopin's style could more accurately be described as a hybrid that captures contemporary narrative currents and looks forward to various trends in Southern and European literature. Mixed into Chopin's overarching nineteenth-century realism is an incisive and often humorous skewering of upper-class pretension, reminiscent of direct contemporaries such as Oscar Wilde, Henry James, Edith Wharton, and George Bernard Shaw.

China Is The Theatre Of The Greatest Movement Now Taking Place On The Face Of The Globe. In Comparison With It, The Agitation In Russia Shrinks To Insignificance; For It Is Not Political, But Social. Its Object Is Not A Changed Dynasty, Nor A Revolution In The Form Of Government; But, With Higher Aim And Deeper Motive, It Promises Nothing Short Of The Complete Renovation Of The Oldest, Most Populous, And Most Conservative Of Empires. Is There A People In Either Hemisphere That Can Afford To Look On With Indifference? When, Some Thirty Years Ago, Japan Adopted The Outward Forms Of Western Civilisation, Her Action Was Regarded By Many As A Stage Trick--A Sort Of Travesty Employed For A Temporary Purpose. But What Do They Think Now, When They See Cabinets And Chambers Of Commerce Compelled To Reckon With The British Of The North Pacific? The Awakening Of Japan'S Huge Neighbour Promises To Yield Results Equally Startling And On A Vastly Extended Scale. [mehr]
