{"product_id":"the-yellow-wallpaper-9781513264585","title":"The Yellow Wallpaper","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFirst appearing in 1892 \u003ci\u003eThe Yellow Wallpaper\u003c\/i\u003e is a searing vision of a distinctively feminine form of madness and commands attention as an arresting tale of horror and a moving look into a woman's mind.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe story uncompromisingly thrusts the reader into the mind of the narrator. She is a woman forced, ostensibly for her own good, into a 'rest cure', a psychological straitjacket so constricting that she begins to unravel. Her mental dissolution is described with such fierce immediacy that \u003ci\u003eThe Yellow Wallpaper\u003c\/i\u003e has been read and anthologized as a chilling horror tale. While it can easily be appreciated for its disorienting thrills, the story's true resonance comes from its matter-of-fact portrayal of a woman pushed to the rim of sanity by society's demands and her family's utter inability to conceive of the fact that she cannot fit within their strictures. Shot through with unforgettable images of the yellow wallpaper, its shadowy depths and what seems to lurk there, \u003ci\u003eThe Yellow Wallpaper\u003c\/i\u003e builds to a climax that combines the narrative impact of an Edgar Allan Poe story with a wrenching protest of the treatment of women. Unique and genre-bending, Gilman's story was unrivaled in its era and its power endures undiminished today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of \u003ci\u003eThe Yellow Wallpaper\u003c\/i\u003e is both modern and readable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eGilman, Charlotte Perkins:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCharlotte Perkins Gilman (1860-1935)\u003c\/b\u003e was an American author, poet, lecturer and feminist. Experiencing depression and an inability to adjust to her life as a cloistered wife in American society of the late 19th century, she was prescribed a 'rest cure' which completely idled her for months and nearly drove her mad. This experience inspired her most highly regarded work, \u003ci\u003eThe Yellow Wallpaper\u003c\/i\u003e, but Gilman went on to write several other noted books, including \u003ci\u003eWomen and Economics\u003c\/i\u003e and the feminist utopian novel, \u003ci\u003eHerland\u003c\/i\u003e, and lectured widely on topics of social concern. Her work helped set the foundation of feminism and grass roots political activism at the dawn of the 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mint Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50557492953362,"sku":"9781513264585","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_6896d22c-2c26-426a-a636-1555b764e9a3.jpg?v=1731784645","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/the-yellow-wallpaper-9781513264585","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
