Beskrivning

Shirley Jackson and Domesticity takes on American horror writer Shirley Jackson’s domestic narratives – those fictionalized in her novels and short stories as well as the ones captured in her memoirs – to explore the extraordinary and often supernatural ways domestic practices and the ecology of the home influence Jackson’s storytelling.Examining various areas of homemaking – child-rearing and reproduction, housekeeping, architecture and spatiality, the housewife mythos – through the theoretical frameworks of gothic, queer, gender, supernatural, humor, and architectural studies, this collection contextualizes Jackson’s archive in a Cold War framework and assesses the impact of the work of a writer seeking to question the status quo of her time and culture.

Recensioner i media

Shirley Jackson and Domesticity makes compelling arguments about role of gender and domesticity within the work of one of the 20th century’s most indelible writers. A thoroughly entertaining and insightful collection, this book leaves me eager to revisit and more deeply explore Jackson’s stories and essays.
