Oliphant, Margaret: The Library Window. 30217
University Of Tampa Press: Tampa, FL. 2006.
First edition (& 1st printing).
Hardcover.
Edited with an introduction, afterword, and notes, by Elizabeth Winston. Reprint of the classic ghost story first published in Blackwood's Magazine in January 1896.
''the most suggestive and controversial of Oliphant's supernatural tales. Densely written, it yields to a number of interpretations. It is most frequently read, for example, as a feminist tract in which the narrator, constrained by the suffocating conditions of Victorian womanhood, aspires to enter the masculine world of professional authorship. But the story might also be interpreted as a psychoanalytical study of a young woman who is not haunted, as such, but is undergoing a mental collapse. Connections can be made between the text and the late Victorian idea of 'adolescent insanity', a condition codified in the work of pre-Freudian theorists such as Henry Maudsley and Horatio Donkin. Conventionally framed as a classic ghost story, 'The Library Window' is better understood, I suggest, as a case study of 'female madness', as defined by male theorists. This interpretation links it with Perkins Gilman's 'The Yellow Wallpaper' (1892), and James's 'The Turn of the Screw' (1898)'' (Simon Cooke).
Fine copy in a fine dustjacket (as new).
