描述 | .This book explores the Catholic aesthetic and mystical dimensions in Kate.Chopin’s fiction within the context of an evolving American Catholicism in the.late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Through a close reading of her.novels and numerous short stories, .Kate Chopin and Catholicism. looks at the.ways Chopin represented Catholicism in her work as a literary device that served.on multiple levels: as an aesthetic within local color depictions of Louisiana, as a.trope for illuminating the tensions surrounding nineteenth-century women’s.struggles for autonomy, as a critique of the Catholic dogma that subordinated.authenticity and physical and emotional pleasure, and as it pointed to the.distinction between religious doctrine and mystical experience, and enabled the.articulation of spirituality beyond the context of the Church.
