Product Description
Review
"A very concise, well presented introduction which the reader can profitably enjoy both before and after reading the text itself. Excellent to have an extensive and representative collection n one affordable volume."--Professor Anne LeCroy, East Tennessee State University
"Superb volume! The introduction alone is worth the price of the text."--Professor Nancy Lang, Marshall University
"An excellent sampling of Gilman's stories with a strong Introduction and useful bibliography."--Professor Martha Cutter, Kent State
Product Description
Charlotte Perkins Gilman was America's leading feminist intellectual of the early twentieth century. The Yellow Wall-Paper and Other Stories makes available the fullest selection of her short fiction ever printed. In addition to her pioneering masterpiece, `The Yellow Wall-Paper' (1890), which draws on her own experience of depression and insanity, this edition features her Impress `story studies', works in the manner of writers such as James, Twain, and Kipling. These stories, together with other fiction from her neglected California period (1890-5), throw new light on Gilman as a practitioner of the art of fiction. In her Forerunner stories she repeatedly explores the situation of `the woman of fifty' and inspires reform by imagining workable solutions to a range of personal and social problems.
