"The Storm" and Its Suppression
Captions available
The idea
In "The Storm" two former lovers, each married to someone else, are shut in together by a passing storm and afterwards everyone is happier. Chopin never submitted it, and it was published decades after her death, which measures what the magazines of the eighteen nineties would take.
In practice
A story written and never offered.
Where people slip
The suppression is evidence about the market.
