Description: This definitive edition of Charlotte Perkins Gilman's The Yellow Wallpaper is based on the 1892 New England Magazine text of the story. The edition includes a generous selection of documents designed to help situate the story in relation to Gilman's time period and wide range of interests. Included are nineteenth-century advice manuals for young women and mothers; medical texts disscusing the nature of women's sexuality; social reform literature concerning women's rights, the working classes, and immigration; and excerpts from periodicals, diaries, and writers' notebooks that give students a sense of the changing literary scene that Gilman entered.
