Recognized as the mother of contemporary horror, scholars from across the globe, and from a range of different disciplinary backgrounds, dig into the lasting impact of her work in light of its increasing relevance to contemporary critical preoccupations and the re-release of Jackson's work following her death in 2016. Offering new methodologies to study her work, this volume calls upon ideas of intertextuality, ecocriticism and psychoanalysis to examine a broad range of themes from national identity, race, gender and class to domesticity, the occult, selfhood and mental illness. With consideration of her blockbuster works such as 'The Lottery' alongside later works that received much less critical attention, Shirley Jackson's Dark Tales promises a rich and dynamic expansion on previous scholarship of Jackson's oeuvre, both bringing her writing into the contemporary conversation, and ensuring her place in the canon of Horror fiction"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a 'A relator of stories' : supernatural presences in Joseph Glanvill's Saducismus Triumphatus (1681) and the short fiction of Shirley Jackson / Miranda Corcoran -- 'The most seductive of mirages' : the weird American dream in selected short stories by Shirley Jackson and Joyce Carol Oates / Joseph Norman -- Demon lovers, Bluebeard's wives : folkloric intertexts and horror in Jackson and Machado / Erika Kvistad -- Negotiating witchcraft in Shirley Jackson's short fiction / Dara Downey -- Nightmares, neurosis and clinical psychology in the short stories of Shirley Jackson / Alice Vernon -- Meeting the devil : diabolic influence and diabolic resistance in Shirley Jackson's James Harris stories / Robert Zipser -- 'Missing' women : spectral displacement in Shirley Jackson's short fiction / Robert Lloyd -- Into the gothic wilderness : the (un)natural world in 'Mrs. Spencer and the Oberons' and 'The man in the woods' / Alissa Burger -- The anxious city in Shirley Jackson's 'Pillar of salt' and 'The tooth' : a phenomenology of the uncanny / Luke Reid -- On her way to the grocery store : shopping, alienation and the lost housewife in Shirley Jackson's short stories / Emma Liggins -- 'I could do with a change' : Shirley Jackson's engagement with postwar science fiction / Janice Lynne Deitner -- 'This gloomy kind of story :' Shirley Jackson's conte cruels and the horror tale in the post-pulp era / Kevin Knott -- Myth and Ritual in Shirley jackson's short fiction / Samantha Landau. 600 10 $a Jackson, Shirley, $d 1916-1965 $x Criticism and interpretation. 650 0 $a Short stories, American $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a American fiction $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 700 1 $a Passey, Joan, $e editor. 700 1 $a Lloyd, Robert, $c Dr., $e editor. 776 08 $i Online version: $t Shirley Jackson's Dark tales $d London ; New York : Bloomsbury Academic, 2024 $z 9781350361126 $w (DLC) 2023030765 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240717024045.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=506EA32A440211EF98CC15ED37ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
