The Yellow Wallpaper

Charlotte Perkins Gilman

First published in 1892, Charlotte Perkins Gilman's semi-autobiographical story The Yellow Wallpaper is her best known work. Written from the perspective of a woman suffering post-partum psychosis, it draws the listener into a world which is both terrifying and fascinating, where strange events occur and where even the wallpaper takes on a sinister and creepy significance. The narration and language are masterful, but it is the way the listener is invited to empathise and almost experience the mental illness first hand which make a lasting impression. Duration - 43m. Author - Charlotte Perkins Gilman. Narrator - Cathy Dobson. Published Date - Thursday, 19 January 2023.
