Publisher's Synopsis
Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the timeThe Yellow Wallpaper (also published as: The Yellow Wallpaper or The Yellow Paper) is a horror account of the American writer Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860-1935). The yellow tapestry, undoubtedly one of the best stories of Charlotte Perkins Gilman, tells in first person the story of a woman confined in her room due to a delicate health condition, and that little by little begins to become obsessed with the design of the paper yellow tapestry that wallpaper the walls of the room.The narrator's mental health deteriorates rapidly, becoming a true psychotic outbreak: she begins to have frightening visions of something that lives behind the yellow wallpaper, whose designs seem to change abruptly. Although Charlotte Perkins Gilman does not clarify it specifically, we can think that the narrator is in the midst of a postpartum depression.Below the argument of The Yellow Tapestry, almost in the same way as the impossible creatures that inhabit the narrator's yellow wallpaper, Charlotte Perkins Gilman elaborates a true manifesto against the mistreatment of women during the Victorian era, of course, timely concealed in the form of love and marital understanding.It has been said that The Yellow Tapestry is based on a personal experience of Charlotte Perkins Gilman, one of the many writers locked in asylum during that period; who had to suffer in their own flesh the mistreatment of women when they were considered victims of some kind of mental disorder.
