Produktbeschreibung

Kate Chopin around the World: Global Perspectives offers a fresh, international lens on Chopin's impact on readers around the world. Contributors from multiple continents situate Chopin's fiction within national and regional locales, reflecting on the reading, researching, and teaching of her work through different cultural lenses. Essays, from both new and seasoned Chopin scholars, draw from a range of critical approaches to demonstrate the broad-reaching effects Chopin has had around the globe. At times, their essays are personal, as contributors reflect on the profound effect the author's fiction had on their lives, research, and even students. Read together, the essays offer a rich conversation with a multiplicity of perspectives from different countries and cultures, demonstrating the incredible influence Chopin-a nineteenth-century American widow who sought to support her six children through her writing-has had on readers, scholars, and teachers for generations.
