The Yellow Wallpaper Av Charlotte Perkins Gilman

<P><B>INTRODUCED BY MAGGIE O'FARRELL</B><br><br><B>'A great work of literature, the product of a questing, burning intellect' MAGGIE O'FARRELL </B><br><br><B>'Even if the themes being explored might seem irrelevant . . . this is not the case' <I>GUARDIAN</I></B><br><br><B>'I loved the unnerving, sarcastic tone, the creepy ending' <I>PARIS REVIEW </I></B><br><br>Based on the author's own experiences, <I>The Yellow Wallpaper</I> is the chilling tale of a woman driven to the brink of insanity by the 'rest cure' prescribed after the birth of her child. While she is isolated in a crumbling mansion, in a room with bars on the windows, the tortuous pattern of the yellow wallpaper winds its way into the recesses of her mind. <br><br>Charlotte Perkins Gilman was America's leading feminist intellectual of the early twentieth century and a brilliant writer, editor and speaker. <I>The Yellow Wallpaper</I> is her masterpiece.</P>
