Never before, however, has the story itself been portrayed as victimized.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this first critical edition of Gilman's \"The Yellow Wall-paper,\" accompanied by contemporary reviews and previously unpublished letters, Julie Bates Dock examines the various myth-frames that have been used to legitimize Gilman's story. The editor discusses how modern feminist critics' readings (and misreadings) of the available documents uphold a set of legends that originated with Gilman herself and that promulgate an almost saintly view of the pioneering feminist author. The documents made available in the collection enable scholars and students to evaluate firsthand Gilman's claims regarding the story's impact on its first audiences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDock presents an authoritative text of \"The Yellow Wall-paper\" for the first time since its initial publication. Included are a textual commentary, full descriptions of all relevant texts, lists of editorial emendations and pre-copy-text substantive variants, a complete historical collation that documents all the variants found in important editions after 1892, and a listing of textual sources for more than one hundred reprintings of the story in anthologies and textbooks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOther documents in the casebook that illuminate the story's publication and reception histories include Gilman's successive and varying accounts of the story's history, her diary and manuscript log entries and letters pertaining to the story, W. D. Howells's correspondence with Gilman and Horace Scudder, editor of \u003ci\u003eThe Atlantic Monthly\u003c\/i\u003e, and his remarks on the story when he reprinted it in \u003ci\u003eGreat American Short Stories\u003c\/i\u003e, and more than two dozen reviews of the story by Gilman's contemporaries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaken together, the criticism, text, documents, and annotations constitute a rich and valuable contribution to Gilman scholarship, calling into question the feminist literary criticism that has helped to shape interpretations of a literary masterpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJulie Bates Dock is an independent scholar living in Torrance, California.
