Yaeger Reader-Response Criticism by Paula A. Treichler A sixth essay by Cynthia Griffin Wolff demonstrates how several critical perspectives can be combined. Each critical essay is accompanied by a succinct introduction to the history, principles, and practice of the critical perspective, and by a bibliography that promotes further exploration of that approach. The text and essays are complemented by an introduction to biographical and historical contexts of The Awakening, a survey of critical responses to the novel since its initial publication, and a glossary of critical and theoretical terms.
