Observacións	Titulo orixinal: A Solitary Soul. Nota sobre a publicación: «The Awakening, novel by Kate Chopin, published in 1899. Originally titled A Solitary Soul, the novel depicts a young mother’s struggle to achieve sexual and personal emancipation in the oppressive environment of the postbellum American South. [...] Chopin began writing The Awakening in 1897. She completed the novel on January 21, 1898, and it was published by Herbert S. Stone & Company in Chicago on April 22, 1899. Chopin anticipated a warm reception for her novel. A month before its release, Book News had run a positive review praising the novel as “subtle and a brilliant kind of art.” To say that the novel was not received well is an understatement. Chopin’s portrayal of female marital infidelity shocked contemporary readers. Critics all over the United States condemned the novel as “morbid,” “unhealthy,” “not wholesome,” “vulgar,” “repellent,” and even “poison.” Edna’s character was described as “sensual and devilish” and “not good enough for heaven, [but] not wicked enough for hell.” [...] Chopin defended herself and her novel to no avail. After its publication, the once-popular author was forced into financial crisis and literary obscurity. The Awakening went out of print for more than 50 years. When it was rediscovered in the 1950s, critics marveled at its modern sensibility. A second edition was published in 1964. Now widely read, The Awakening is critically acclaimed as an American version of Gustave Flaubert’s Madame Bovary (1856) and a landmark feminist text.» (Extraído de Bracken, Haley. "The Awakening".
