Kate Chopin''s Private Papers

Informationen zum Autor Kate Chopin (1850-1904) was born in St. Louis and spent much of her life in Louisiana. Widowed with six children at age thirty-two, she published stories and articles often set in the Creole culture of late-nineteenth-century New Orleans. The candor and sympathy with which she explored the contours of modern women's lives were unprecedented. So prescient were Chopin's fictions that, many decades after her death, they would become touchstones for second-wave feminism. Klappentext These papers illuminate the growth of Chopin as a writer, reveal the reactions of critics to her work, and settle a number of controversies in Chopin studies. Zusammenfassung Presents an edition of the primarily unpublished papers of author Kate Chopin, including notebooks and diaries, letters, poems, manuscript account books, and miscellaneous documents, statements, music, and illustrations. This book tells about the growth of Chopin as a writer and reveals the reactions of critics to her work.
