Opis

While Kate Chopin, famed writer of The Awakening, has received considerable scholarly attention over the years, very little scholarship has focused on her twenty-first century impact, particularly on the global level. Kate Chopin in Context: New Approaches revisits familiar themes, establishes new themes, and brings theory to practice in classroom settings, where so many encounter Chopin as readers and as teachers. Notably, the collection includes essays from around the globe, written by scholars from North America, South America, Europe, and the Middle East, offering readers glimpses into the multi-national appreciation and versatility of the author's work. Other topics include technological applications to teaching Chopin, Gender Studies, historical and legal context, among many others. In turn, this much-needed collection reiterates and reinvigorates Kate Chopin's relevance and ultimately influence on the history of American writing.

Recenzje

"In this comprehensive collection, Ostman and O'Donoghue have done a heroic job in selecting essays that widen the lens beyond the customary examination of Chopin's magnum opus, The Awakening. ... Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through faculty." (D. D. Knight, Choice, Vol. 53 (10), June, 2016)

"Kate Chopin in Context belongs in every college library. The essays are well researched, cognizant of prior commentary and research while refreshing, original, and provocative. They appeal to the specialist; they are accessible to students." (Lloyd M. Daigrepont, Journal of the American Studies Association of Texas, 2016)
