«The Awakening (1899) is a short but intense rich novel, as dense and brilliant as the French Impressionist paintings which were on exhibition for the first time a few decades before its publication.  Like those paintings, the novel scandalized its contemporanion audiences.  Within a few years, however, the book was all but forgotten.  Fortunately, it aws rescued from oblivion seventy years later and has emerge triumphantly as one of the most celebrated portraits of a lady in American literature.»  (> from the Introduction)
