Abstract

The Birth of Tragedy and The Awakening: Influences and Intertextualities by Patricia L. Bradley For decades, scholars of Kate Chopin and her works have in- directly, or at least without much elucidation, acknowledged the Ni- etzschean strain they have observed in her canon, particularly in her masterpiece The Awakening (1899) . One recent example of this type of reference appears in the introduction to a new edition of Chopin’s fi rst novel At Fault (1890), in which the editors make the sweeping claim that “[n]umerous critics have remarked on Chopin’s familiarity with philo- sophical works, especially the German Romanticism of Friedrich Scho- penhauer and Friedrich Nietzsche” (Green and Caudle xxi). Addition- ally, two essays from the collection Kate Chopin Reconsidered: Beyond the Bayou (1992) make glancing and, at times, downright elliptical refer- ences to Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900) and certain of his works to il- lustrate images and metaphoric approaches Chopin shared with the rad- ical nineteenth-century German philosopher.
