The Yellow Wallpaper

For our next assignment, we're going to be reading Charlotte Perkins Gilman's spooky short story, "The Yellow Wallpaper." You can find a link to scans of the original 1892 New England Magazine publication of the story here. Please read the story before our next class meeting (Th 10/16); we'll discuss the story in class, but you need to be familiar with it already to participate in the discussion. We'll use our quotation and paraphrase skills to write about the story for our next essay.

In case you're curious, the scans of Gilman's story come from an exhibition called "The Literature of Prescription," available at the U.S. National Library of Medicine website.
