Reviews

In this comprehensive collection, Ostman and O'Donoghue have done a heroic job in selecting essays that widen the lens beyond the customary examination of Chopin's magnum opus, The Awakening. ... Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through faculty. (D. D. Knight, Choice, Vol. 53 (10), June, 2016) Kate Chopin in Context belongs in every college library. The essays are well researched, cognizant of prior commentary and research while refreshing, original, and provocative. They appeal to the specialist; they are accessible to students. (Lloyd M. Daigrepont, Journal of the American Studies Association of Texas, 2016)
