'The color is hideous enough, and unreliable enough, and
infuriating enough, but the pattern is torturing.' Written with
barely controlled fury after she was confined to her room for
'nerves' and forbidden to write, Gilman's pioneering feminist
horror story scandalized nineteenth-century readers with its
portrayal of a woman who loses her mind because she has literally
nothing to do. Introducing Little Black Classics: 80 books for
Penguin's 80th birthday. Little Black Classics celebrate the huge
range and diversity of Penguin Classics, with books from around the
world and across many centuries. They take us from a balloon ride
over Victorian London to a garden of blossom in Japan, from Tierra
del Fuego to 16th-century California and the Russian steppe. Here
are stories lyrical and savage; poems epic and intimate; essays
satirical and inspirational; and ideas that have shaped the lives
of millions. Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860-1935). Gilman's work is
available in Penguin Classics in The Yellow Wall-Paper, Herland and
Selected Writings.
