Paperback. Zustand: Good. Kate Chopin was a nationally acclaimed short story artist of the local-color school when, in 1899 she shocked the American reading public with THE AWAKENING, a novel that much resembles MADAME BOVARY. Though the critics praised the artistic excellence of the book, it was generally condemned for its objective treatment of the sensuous, independent heroine. Deeply hurt by the censure, Mrs. Chopin wrote little more and became largely forgotten. For decades, the few critics who did remember her concentrated on the regional aspects of her work. In the LITERERY HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES, where Chopin is highly praised as a local colorist, THE AWAKENING is not even mentioned. In the 70s, however, a few critics began giving new attention to the novel, emphasizing its courageous realism. In KATE CHOPIN: A CRITICAL BIOGRAPHY, Mr. Seyersted uses her total oeuvre to present an extensive re-examination of both the life and work of the author, including previously unknown stories, letters, and a diary. Chopin was a much more ambitious and purposeful writer than previously thought. From the beginning, her special theme was female self-assertion. As each new success increased her self-confidence, she grew more and more daring in her descriptions of emancipated women wanting to dictate their own lives. Mr. Seyersted traces the author's growth as an artist and as a penetrating interpreter of the female condition, and shows how her career culminated in THE AWAKENING and the unknown story The Storm. With these works, which were decades ahead of their time, Kate Chopin takes her place among the important American realist writers of the 1890's.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Kate Chopin, according to her contemporaries, was a ''woman of mysterious fascination'' - and Kate Chopin's Private Papers reveals many of the author's secrets. Chopin (1850-1904), author of about a hundred short stories and two novels (The Awakening and At Fault), also kept diaries, wrote letters and poems, translated short stories and articles from the French, and worried about her career. Chopin's newly discovered manuscripts, published for the first time here, reflect her dedication to revision and improving her craft; her manuscript account books show her meticulous control of her career and her pursuit of audiences. These papers illuminate the growth of Chopin as a writer, bring into focus the reactions of critics to her work, and settle a number of controversies in Chopin studies.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. XII-345 pages ; 22 cm. Per Seyersted's Robert Cantwell: An American 1930s RadicalWriter and His Apostasy is an exceedingly unusual, inventive, anddistinguished contribution to 20th century United States cultural,intellectual, and political history in several respects. Seyersted'sfocus is on the career of Robert Cantwell, a promising novelistfrom the Northwestern United States who was a much-admiredpro-Communist literary talent in the early 1930s, but who steadilyevolved to the Right and vanished into the relative obscurity ofthe mass market publishing industry in subsequent decades.Cantwell's name is certainly recognizable to most scholars ofUnited States literary radicalism, but the central mystery of -whathappened? to him has never been explained. Seyersted's extraordinarilyresearched book now answers that question in a mannerthat sheds new light on a variety of other issues, and offers ahighly detailed fresh paradigm for the radical literary experiencethat will absorb a broad range of readers.
