Shirley Jackson was one of America's most prominent female writers
of the 1950s. Between 1948 and 1965 she published one best-selling
story collection, six novels, two popular volumes of her family
chronicles and many stories, which ranged from fairly conventional
tales for the women's magazine market to the ambiguous, allusive,
delicately sinister and more obviously literary stories that were
closest to Jackson's heart and destined to end up in the more
highbrow end of the market. Most critical discussions of Jackson
tend to focus on ""The Lottery"" and The Haunting of Hill House. An
author of such accomplishment - and one so fully engaged with the
pressures and preoccupations of postwar America - merits fuller
discussion. To that end, this collection of essays widens the scope
of Jackson scholarship with new writing on such works as The Road
through the Wall and We Have Always Lived in the Castle, and topics
ranging from Jackson's domestic fiction to ethics, cosmology, and
eschatology. The book also makes newly available some of the most
significant Jackson scholarship published in the last two decades.
