Lilacs and Other Stories

Before she wrote The Awakening — a powerful novel that has illuminated generations of readers with its strikingly honest and controversial themes of female sexuality and miscegenation–Kate Chopin penned many well-received short stories of Creole and Acadian life. Infused with «local color,» these tales are filled with fascinating characters, idiosyncratic customs, and sometimes shocking details.Reflecting the influences of the French writers Guy de Maupassant and George Sand, «Lilacs»...

Audiences accustomed to the pieties of late Victorian romantic fiction were taken aback by Chopin's daring portrayal of a woman trapped in a stifling marriage, who seeks and finds passionate physical love outside the straitened confines of her domestic situation.Aside from its unusually frank treatment of a then-controversial subject, the novel is widely admired today for its...

A Night In Acadie

A Night In Acadie

Kate Chopin, whose stories have deservedly won much praise, has chosen her field among the rural Acadian French of Louisiana, whose patois is not the same as that of the New Orleans Creoles, and whose traditions are quite distinct. This volume is altogether delightful and takes its name, 'A Night in Acadie', from the title of the first story. There are twenty-one tales in all.
