41. Kate Chopin: A Re-Awakening - The Kiss Etext in connection with PBS presentation, kate chopin A ReAwakening. http://www.pbs.org/katechopin/library/kiss.html

The Kiss It was still quite light out of doors, but inside with the curtains drawn and the smouldering fire sending out a dim, uncertain glow, the room was full of deep shadows. Brantain sat in one of these shadows; it had overtaken him and he did not mind. The obscurity lent him courage to keep his eves fastened as ardently as he liked upon the girl who sat in the firelight. She was very handsome, with a certain fine, rich coloring that belongs to the healthy brune type. She was quite composed, as she idly stroked the satiny coat of the cat that lay curled in her lap, and she occasionally sent a slow glance into the shadow where her companion sat. They were talking low, of indifferent things which plainly were not the things that occupied their thoughts. She knew that he loved hera frank, blustering fellow without guile enough to conceal his feelings, and no desire to do so. For two weeks past he had sought her society eagerly and persistently. She was confidently waiting for him to declare himself and she meant to accept him. The rather insignificant and unattractive Brantain was enormously rich; and she liked and required the entourage which wealth could give her. During one of the pauses between their talk of the last tea and the next reception the door opened and a young man entered whom Brantain knew quite well. The girl turned her face toward him. A stride or two brought him to her side, and bending over her chairbefore she could suspect his intention, for she did not realize that he had not seen her visitorhe pressed an ardent, lingering kiss upon her lips.

American Literature Web Resources: Kate Chopin compiled by Jay Schleppenbach As Chopin's later stories, such as "The Story of an Hour," began to emphasize women's need for independence and frankly (although by no means explicitly) address their sexual passion, editors became less receptive to her work. Chopin was forced to publish a novel, At Fault , in 1890 at her own expense. After several publishers rejected her second novel, she destroyed the manuscript, feeling deepening alienation and rejection from society. The Awakening (1899), the novel many now consider to be her masterpiece, attracted a storm of negative criticism for its dead-on depiction of Edna Pontellier's rejection of motherhood and traditional social values and interest in social and sexual freedom. Publication of her third collection of stories, A Vocation and a Voice , was suspended, and the collection was not published in any form until 1991. As a result of the negative criticism and social ostracism that followed The Awakening , Chopin produced few additional writings, and over the next half-century her work became obscure.

Kate Chopin as Feminist: Subverting the French Androcentric Influence Jane Le Marquand Massey University Palmerston North, New Zealand janelem@manawatu.gen.nz Deep South v.2. n.3. (Spring 1996) Kate Chopin is best known in the literary world of today as author of the novel The Awakening . Highly controversial in its time, The Awakening deals with the condition of the nineteenth century woman in marriage, and has been more recently rediscovered and recognised as an overtly feminist text for these same reasons. This novel, however, represents only the climax of a literary career spent almost exclusively in the composition of short fiction. It was the 'mastering'[1] of the short story genre that allowed Chopin to complete her final masterpiece, to develop a style best suited to her thematic concerns. This development did not of course occur in isolation. All writers have their predecessors and in Chopin's case it appears that one man in particular was highly influential, French short story writer Guy de Maupassant, who took the literary world by storm in 1880 with pieces "...marked by an impeccable concise prose, carefully chosen expressive details and solidly realistic characters" (Ewell, Kate Chopin p. 19).

ST. LOUIS WALK OF FAME K ATE C HOPIN Katherine O'Flaherty, a member of one of St. Louis' oldest families, attended the St. Louis Academy of the Sacred Heart. When she married New Orleans native Oscar Chopin, she encountered the Creole culture which provided settings for many of her works. She wrote more than 100 short stories in the 1890s, and hosted a literary salon in her home at 3317 Morgan Street. Her 1899 novel, The Awakening , was condemned for its frank treatment of a young woman's sexual and artistic growth. Now it is recognized both for the quality of the writing and for its importance as an early feminist work. George Chopin, grandson, accepted the award on behalf of Ms. Chopin.

The reaction prompted Kate's gradual withdrawal from writing and contributed to her much delayed entry into the halls of literary fame. A master storyteller, she was 75 years ahead of her time. Kate O'Flaherty was born in St. Louis in 1851. Brought up by three generations of widows, she was strong and self-reliant. At the age 19, she married the man she loved, a French-Creole from Louisiana, Oscar Chopin. They settled down in New Orleans to a comfortable life and happy marriage. Oscar encouraged Kate's independent, if somewhat unconventional nature. For four years, Oscar ran the plantation and general store, and Kate raised their children. In 1882, their life abruptly changed again, when Oscar died of swamp fever. Kate was left, at 31, with six children under twelve. For over a year she managed the plantation and store, finally yeilding to her mother's pressure to return to St. Louis. Her mother died the following year.

St. Louis. Of Creole-Irish descent, she married (1870) a Louisiana businessman and lived with him in Natchitoches parish and New Orleans. In these places she acquired an intimate knowledge of Creole and Cajun life, upon which she was to draw in many of her stories. After her husband's death in 1883, she returned with their six children to St. Louis and there began to write. Two collections of tales, Bayou Folk (1894) and A Night in Acadie (1897), earned her a reputation as a local colorist, but her novel The Awakening (1899) caused a storm of criticism because of its treatment of feminine sexuality. In depicting objectively a woman's confused groping toward self-understanding and self-acceptance, Chopin seemed to threaten the mores of her time although she did not explicitly attack them. Largely ignored for the next 60 years, her work is now praised for its literary merit as well as for its remarkable independence of mind and feeling. See her complete works, ed. by P. Seyersted (2 vol., 1969) and ed. by S. M. Gilbert (2002); her private papers, ed. by E. Toth et al. (1998); T. Bonner, Jr.

Chopin, Kate O'Flaherty (1851-1904), novelist Born in St. Louis, Missouri, on February 8, 1851, to a prominent family, Katherine O'Flaherty read widely as a girl. In June 1870 she married Oscar Chopin, with whom she lived in his native New Orleans, Louisiana, and later on a plantation near Cloutiersville, Louisiana, until his death in 1882. After his death she began to write about the Creole and Cajun people she had observed in the South. Her first novel, At Fault In 1899 Chopin published The Awakening, a realistic novel about the sexual and artistic awakening of a young wife and mother who abandons her family and eventually commits suicide. This work was roundly condemned in its time because of its sexual frankness and its portrayal of an interracial marriage and went out of print for more than 50 years. When it was rediscovered in the 1950s, critics marveled at the beauty of its writing and its modern sensibility. Chopin's work has been categorized within the "local color" genre. Her stories were collected in Bayou Folk (1894) and A Night in Acadie (1897). She died in St. Louis, Missouri, on August 22, 1904.
