Bayou Folk (1894) is a short story collection by American author Kate Chopin. Chopin, a pioneering feminist and gifted writer, sought to portray the experiences of Southern women and ethnic minorities struggling to survive in an era decimated by war and economic hardship. Bayou Folk collects twenty-three of her stories. “Beyond the Bayou” is the story of La Folle, a thirty-five year old black woman living on the outskirts of a Louisiana plantation. Traumatized with memories of the war, she has spent her entire life on one side of the bayou. From her modest cabin, she entertains visits from the owner of Bellissime plantation and his young children. La Folle holds a special fondness for Chéri, the owner’s young son, whom she entertains with stories of a world she has seldom, if ever, seen, a world “beyond the bayou.” When a terrible accident occurs, however, she is forced to face her deepest fears, or else suffer the most unthinkable loss of all. In “Désirée's Baby,” the most acclaimed of Chopin’s short stories, a young woman married to plantation owner Armand Aubigny awaits the birth of her first child. When the child is born with a racially ambiguous appearance, however, Aubigny quickly blames his wife, whose parents are suspected of having African American heritage. Banished from the plantation, Désirée leaves her young family behind, unaware of the secret her husband declined to share. Bayou Folk showcases the literary talent of Kate Chopin, a writer with an eye for characters on the fringe, people whose hearts often clash with the rules and demands of culture in the American South. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Kate Chopin’s Bayou Folk is a classic of American literature reimagined for modern readers.

One agreeable afternoon in late autumn two young men stood together on Canal Street, closing aconversation that had evidently begun within the club-house which they had just quitted."There's big money in it, Offdean," said the elder of the two. "I would n't have you touch it if therewas n't. Why, they tell me Patchly 's pulled a hundred thousand out of the concern a'ready.""That may be," replied Offdean, who had been politely attentive to the words addressed to him, butwhose face bore a look indicating that he was closed to conviction. He leaned back upon the clumsystick which he carried, and continued: "It's all true, I dare say, Fitch; but a decision of that sortwould mean more to me than you'd believe if I were to tell you. The beggarly twenty-five thousand'sall I have, and I want to sleep with it under my pillow a couple of months at least before I drop itinto a slot.""You 'll drop it into Harding & Offdean's mill to grind out the pitiful two and a half per centcommission racket; that 's what you 'll do in the end, old fellow-see if you don't.""Perhaps I shall; but it's more than likely I shan't. We 'll talk about it when I get back. You know I'moff to north Louisiana in the morning"-"No! What the deuce"-"Oh, business of the firm.""Write me from Shreveport, then; or wherever it is.""Not so far as that. But don't expect to hear from me till you see me. I can't say when that will be."Then they shook hands and parted. The rather portly Fitch boarded a Prytania Street car, and Mr.Wallace Offdean hurried to the bank in order to replenish his portemonnaie, which had beenmaterially lightened at the club through the medium of unpropitious jack-pots and bobtail flushes.He was a sure-footed fellow, this young Offdean, despite an occasional fall in slippery places. Whathe wanted, now that he had reached his twenty-sixth year and his inheritance, was to get his feet wellplanted on solid ground, and to keep his head cool and clear.With his early youth he had had certain shadowy intentions of shaping his life on intellectual lines.That is, he wanted to; and he meant to use his faculties intelligently, which means more than is atonce apparent. Above all, he would keep clear of the maelstroms of sordid work and senselesspleasure in which the average American business man may be said alternately to exist, and whichreduce him, naturally, to a rather ragged condition of soul.Offdean had done, in a temperate way, the usual things which young men do who happen to belongto good society, and are possessed of moderate means and healthy instincts. He had gone to college, had traveled a little at home and abroad, had frequented society and the clubs, and had worked in hisuncle's commission-house; in all of which employments he had expended much time and amodicum of energy.But he felt all through that he was simply in a preliminary stage of being, one that would developlater into something tangible and intelligent, as he liked to tell himself. With his patrimony of twenty-five thousand dollars came what he felt to be the turning-point in his life, -the time when itbehooved him to choose a course, and to get himself into proper trim to follow it manfully andconsistently.When Messrs. Harding & Offdean determined to have some one look after what they called "atroublesome piece of land on Red River," Wallace Offdean requested to be intrusted with thatspecial commission of land-inspector.

The Nineteenth-Century Novel: Identities by Dennis Walder Pdf
The Nineteenth-Century Novel: Identities provides an ideal starting point for understanding gender in the novels of this period. It explores the place of fiction in constructing gender identity within society at large, considering Madame Bovary, Portrait of a Lady and The Woman in White. The book continues with a consideration of the novel at the fin de siecle, examining Dracula, The Awakening and Heart of Darkness. These fascinating essays illuminate the ways in which the conventions of realism were disrupted as much by anxieties surrounding colonialism, decadence, degeneration and the 'New Woman' as by those new ideas about human psychology which heralded the advent of psychoanalysis. The concepts which are crucial to the understanding of the literature and society of the nineteenth century are brilliantly explained and discussed in this essential volume.
