Shirley Jackson, Influences and Confluences (eBook, PDF)

Redaktion: Anderson, Melanie R.; Kröger, Lisa

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The popularity of such widely known works as "The Lottery" and The Haunting of Hill House has tended to obscure the extent of Shirley Jackson's literary output, which includes six novels, a prodigious number of short stories, and two volumes of domestic sketches. Organized around the themes of influence and intertextuality, this collection places Jackson within the literary cohort of the 1950s. The contributors investigate the work that informed her own fiction and discuss how Jackson inspired writers of literature and film.Taken together, the essays offer convincing evidence that half a century following her death, readers and writers alike are still finding value in Jackson's words.
