![]() Her traumatic childhood led to depression and to her eventual suicide. Author NotesĬharlotte Perkins Gilman was born in 1860 in Hartford, Conn. Peace and tranquillity thrive in this utopian land, forcing the explorers to question how their own corrupted, male-dominated world can survive. Herland, first published in 1915, follows a group of three men as they arrive in a female-only society. And then there's the putrid, yellow wallpaper which seems to shift and creep around the room before her very eyes. Her husband John, a physician, is of no comfort and she can't bear to sit with the new baby as his crying makes her much too nervous. ![]() In The Yellow Wallpaper a woman frantically paces the empty nursery at the top of a secluded mansion. Collected here, both The Yellow Wallpaper and Herland are extraordinary for scrutinising the patriarchal norms of turn-of-the-century America. Hailed as one of the most distinctive and compelling literary voices of her era, Charlotte Perkins Gilman is praised today for her ground-breaking, feminist writing. ![]() ![]() 'There are things in that wallpaper that nobody knows about but me, or ever will' ![]() HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics. ![]()

Inwardly and subtly the story pictures the decline of aristocracy, of which this coronet is a symbol. Outwardly the novel follows the fortunes of a Renaissance coronet, a jewel which tends constantly to bring evil out of goodness we follow it in its passage from the original owner, the Due de Senlis, down the ages until restored to one of his descendants in 1920.
