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.

Description

On February 15, 2025, the American publishing house Lexington Books released a collection of essays dedicated to the writer Kate Chopin (1851–1904), considered one of the forerunners of feminism.

Kate Chopin around the World. Global Perspective gathers contributions from authors and scholars from different parts of the world, mostly within the academic field. Within this long-term, internationally oriented project, we find the essay The Narrative Orchestra in Kate Chopin by Anna Maria Farabbi (Chapter 11), translated by Prof. Alessandra Brivio (Associate Professor of History at Erskine College, South Carolina). In it, Farabbi continues her work on the Creole-American writer with an originality of thought and research that extends also into the field of musicology.

Anna Maria Farabbi began her studies on Kate Chopin with her university thesis, later translating several of Chopin’s stories for Sellerio and publishing an essay with LietoColle. The stories—together with an unpublished one—and the essay were republished in the volume Kate Chopin, racconti con saggio e traduzione di Anna Maria Farabbi (Al3vie in co-edition with pièdimosca edizioni, 2022).

The editor of Kate Chopin around the World. Global Perspective, Prof. Heather Ostman, is also the President of the Kate Chopin International Society, founded in 2004. (https://www.katechopin.org/society/)
