{"product_id":"the-awakening-9781804172438","title":"The Awakening","description":"\u003cb\u003eNow recognised as a pioneering exploration of gender freedom, from an era when female agency was rare and shocking.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWritten in the late Victorian era The Awakening features a young woman who flings aside the norms of society and rejects her role as wife and mother. She abandons her family for a hedonistic and contrarian lifestyle before eventually committing suicide. The novel deals with the issues of interracial marriage and contains passages of overt sexuality, both of which contributed to the widespread outcry upon its original publication in 1899. Today it is seen as a portent of the future and admired for its direct and naturalistic style. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFlame Tree 451 presents a new series, \u003cb\u003eThe Foundations of Feminist Fiction\u003c\/b\u003e. The early 1900s saw a quiet revolution in literature dominated by male adventure heroes. Both men and women moved beyond the norms of the male gaze to write from a different gender perspective, sometimes with female protagonists, but also expressing the universal freedom to write on any subject whatsoever. Each book features a brand new biography and a new glossary of Literary, Gothic and Victorian terms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Flame Tree 451\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/04\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781804172438\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 286.77lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 5.12w x 0.67d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e15836 \/ Awakening\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.5 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Kate Chopin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42325237858485,"sku":"9781804172438","price":8.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_51264153-ce82-48d1-9923-94651dd5e2db.jpg?v=1660018044","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-awakening-9781804172438","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
