A genius of literary suspense, Jackson plumbed the cultural anxiety of postwar America better than anyone. Now, biographer Ruth Franklin reveals the tumultuous life and inner darkness of the author behind such classics as The Haunting of Hill House and We Have Always Lived in the Castle. Placing Jackson within an American Gothic tradition of Hawthorne and Poe, Franklin demonstrates how her unique contribution to this genre came from her focus on "domestic horror" drawn from an era hostile to women. Based on a wealth of previously undiscovered correspondence and dozens of new interviews, Shirley Jackson, with its exploration of astonishing talent shaped by a damaged childhood and a troubled marriage to literary critic Stanley Hyman, becomes the definitive biography of a generational avatar and an American literary giant."-- |cProvided by publisher. 600 10 Jackson, Shirley, |d1916-1965. |=^A860568 600 17 Jackson, Shirley, |d1916-1965. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00044987 |?UNAUTHORIZED 650 0 Authors, American |y20th century |vBiography. |=^A414805 650 0 Women authors |vBiography. |=^A609949 650 7 Authors, American. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00821764 650 7 Women authors. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01177198 650 7 BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Literary. 650 7 BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Women. 650 4 BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Women. 650 4 BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Literary. 650 7 BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Literary. |2bisacsh 650 7 BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Women. |2bisacsh 648 7 1900-1999 |2fast 655 7 Biographies. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 Biography. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01423686 655 7 Biographies. |2lcgft 949 |i30372016597053 |ojjlm 960 |o1 |s35.00 |tJoyner48 |uJAPP |zUSD 596 1 998 4627214
