{"product_id":"the-yellow-wallpaper-2","title":"The Yellow Wallpaper","description":"In 1892 a furious Charlotte Perkins Gilman put pen to paper and created the avant-garde feminist work \u003cem\u003eThe Yellow Wallpaper\u003c\/em\u003e as a warning - in this haunting Gothic tale, a woman is confined to a room and forbidden to do anything interesting - and she loses her mind.\u003cbr\u003eIn 1887, following a severe nervous breakdown, Gilman had been sent to a leading neurologist, she explains in 'Why I Wrote \u003cem\u003eThe Yellow Wallpaper\u003c\/em\u003e', also included in this volume. He was a 'wise man' who 'put me to bed and applied the rest cure... and sent me home with solemn advice to \"live as domestic a life as far as possible\"... and \"never to touch pen, brush or pencil again\" as long as I lived. I went home and obeyed those directions for some three months, and came so near the borderline of utter mental ruin that I could see over.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Yellow Wallpaper\u003c\/em\u003e is both a haunting illustration of the treatment of mental health and a chilling Gothic tale, and this new edition makes it ready to enchant another generation of readers.\r","brand":"Charlotte Perkins Gilman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44506327810284,"sku":"9781804470046","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/1791\/3068\/files\/9781804470046.jpg?v=1709304928","url":"https:\/\/intl.allstora.com\/products\/the-yellow-wallpaper-2","provider":"Allstora","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
