"The gospel which C. P. Stetson preaches in her delightful verses, 'In this our World,' is as original as it is well expressed. It is not only in the novelty of the theme, but also in the freshness and vigour of her diction, that her charm lies.... She is really a very remarkable writer, and possesses a power of thought and expression seldom met with."—Gentlewoman.
THE YELLOW WALL PAPER
12mo, paper boards, 2s.
"Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Stetson's 'The Yellow Wall Paper' is a conceit fantastical and gruesome enough to have emanated from the brain of Edgar Poe. It is written with remarkable vividness, as if the writer had experienced something very like the misery which she describes. There is nothing extravagant or unreal in the narration. Wall-papers, yellow and other coloured, have had often a pernicious influence on people of defective nervous poise, and quite unbalanced them. Mrs. Stetson's story has a purely literary justification, but is none the worse for teaching a lesson which some loving husbands and parents would do well to heed."—Christian Register.
