Charlotte Perkins Gilman's The Yellow Wall-paper and the History of Its Publication and Reception by Julie Bates Dock

This is a critical edition of Charlotte Perkins Gilman's "The Yellow Wall-paper", the story of the victimization of a woman whose neurasthenic condition is completely misdiagnosed and mistreated, leaving her to face insanity alone. It is accompanied by contemporary reviews and letters.

“Dock’s casebook will teach readers several lessons about how much we should credit an author’s own account of the fate of a piece of writingIt is a fascinating study of the ways in which literature and political concerns can become intertwined, and how a faulty text and inept bibliographical procedures can seem to undergird statements that simply aren’t true.”

—James M. Hutchisson,The Citadel
