Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
One hundred years after the first publication of Charlotte Perkins Gilman's "The Yellow Wallpaper" and almost 20 years after its reissue by the Feminist Press, Golden considers the story's impact on readers and scholars. Convenient for researchers and teachers, this casebook includes the primary work itself plus background information and sources that place it within the cultural and social context of the 19th century and of the author's personal life. Sources include excerpts from Gilman's autobiography and from the writings of 19th-century neurologist Dr. S. Weir Mitchell. Marred somewhat by considerable repetition of information, the casebook offers critical interpretations from biographical, feminist, psychological, and linguistic perspectives, as well as a dialog among scholars regarding Gilman's intriguing work. Recommended for public and academic libraries with strong literary and feminist collections.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent collection.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Captive Imagination: A Casebook on "The Yellow Wallpaper" (Paperback)
I bought this book hoping to find an essay or two for a college class I'm teaching. The book was so fascinating, I'm going to end up using more of it than I thought. Originally, I was going to photocopy the essays, now I'm just going to have my students buy the book. I would have given it 5 stars except for the "considerable repetition" mentioned above. What is strongest about this book is the different perspectives that it employs.
