In 1887, following a severe nervous breakdown, Gilman had been sent to a leading neurologist, she explains in 'Why I Wrote The Yellow Wallpaper', 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.' The Yellow Wallpaper 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Griffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42045446979628,"sku":"9781913724160","price":6.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0379\/1365\/7388\/products\/9781913724160.jpg?v=1699090303","url":"https:\/\/www.griffinbooksonline.co.uk\/products\/9781913724160","provider":"Griffin Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
