Chopin’s depictions of and references to New Orleans celebrate the vibrancy of this unique American city, but also illustrate the complex, interdependent relationships defined within its coded system of racial, gendered, and class designations. These stories feature canny depictions of the complexity of human struggles for freedom as well as love within this nineteenth-century southern city. While Chopin has been highly regarded as a local color writer and especially as a feminist literary icon, this book shows how the author’s “city” stories also point to her sophistication as an author who perceived the shifting literary landscape, and it identifies the ways many of these stories’ protomodernist elements anticipate the advent of the Modern era. 0aAmericaxLiteratures.966799 0aLiterature, Modernx19th century. 0aCities and townsxHistory.96829214aNorth American Literature.96680024aNineteenth-Century Literature.24aUrban History.9682932 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303144299508iPrinted edition:z978303144301508iPrinted edition:z9783031443022 0aAmerican Literature Readings in the 21st Century,x2634-580396680140uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-44300-8  aZDB-2-LCM  aZDB-2-SXL  c56831d56831
