Biography Base Home Link To Us Search Biographies: Browse Biographies A B C D ... Z Shirley Jackson Biography Shirley Jackson (December 14, 1919 - August 8, 1965) was an american author who wrote short stories and novels. Her most famous work is her short story "The Lottery", which combines a bucolic small-town-America setting with a horrific shock ending. The tone of most of her works is odd and macabre, with an impending sense of doom, often framed by very ordinary settings and characters. Born in San Francisco, California, she graduated from Syracuse University in 1940. While a student there, she met future husband Stanley Edgar Hyman, who was to become a noted literary critic. In addition to her novels, Jackson also wrote a children's novel, Nine Magic Wishes, available in an edition illustrated by her grandson Miles Hyman. She also wrote two humorous memoirs, Raising Demons and Life Among the Savages, about her marriage and the experience of bringing up four children. After her death, her husband released her final unfinished novel, Come Along With Me, containing several chapters of her final work as well as several rare short stories and three speeches given by Jackson in her writing seminars. In 1996, a crate of unpublished stories was found in the barn behind Jackson's house. These stories were published in a collection titled Just an Ordinary Day.

In the July 22, 1948, issue of the San Francisco Chronicle Jackson offered the following in response to persistent queries from her readers about her intentions: Explaining just what I had hoped the story to say is very difficult. I suppose, I hoped, by setting a particularly brutal ancient rite in the present and in my own village to shock the story's readers with a graphic dramatization of the pointless violence and general inhumanity in their own lives.

Life Among the Savages (1953) and Raising Demons (1957) are witty and humorous fictionalized memoirs about their life with their four children. Their light, comic tone contrasts sharply with the dark pessimism of Jackson's other works, whose general theme is the presence of evil and chaos just beneath the surface of ordinary, everyday life. "The Lottery," a chilling tale whose meaning has been much debated, provoked widespread public outrage when it was first published in The New Yorker in 1948. Jackson's six finished novels, especially The Haunting of Hill House (1959) and We Have Always Lived in the Castle (1962), further established her reputation as a master of gothic horror and psychological suspense.

A tale of subtle, psychological terror, it has earned its place as one of the significant haunted house stories of the ages. Eleanor Vance has always been a lonershy, vulnerable, and bitterly resentful of the 11 years she lost while nursing her dying mother. "She had spent so long alone, with no one to love, that it was difficult for her to talk, even casually, to another person without self-consciousness and an awkward inability to find words." Eleanor has always sensed that one day something big would happen, and one day it does. She receives an unusual invitation from Dr. John Montague, a man fascinated by "supernatural manifestations."

12. Salon | Monstrous Acts And Little Murders Introduction to the author s works, by Jonathan Lethem. http://www.salonmagazine.com/jan97/jackson970106.html

A new collection of unpublished stories betrays the two faces of Shirley Jackson, the writer who created "The Lottery." By JONATHAN LETHEM "The Lottery," of course, the story everyone knows even if they don't remember Shirley Jackson's name. A small New England town, blandly familiar in every way, sleepwalking its way through ritual murder. Likely the most controversial piece of fiction ever published in the New Yorker, resulting in hundreds of canceled subscriptions, later adapted for television, radio and ballet, it now resides in the popular imagination as an archetype. It can be as difficult to persuade readers that the story is just one sheaf in the portfolio of one of this century's most luminous and strange American writers as it is to explain that the town portrayed in "The Lottery" is a real one. The town hasn't changed, or at least it hadn't by the mid- eighties, when I was a student at the school. A handful of the townspeople portrayed in thin disguise in Jackson's novels and stories were still around. I knew the square where "The Lottery" takes place. It was Jackson's fate, as a faculty wife and an eccentric newcomer in a staid, insular village, to absorb the reflexive antisemitism and anti-intellectualism felt by the townspeople toward the college. She and her children were accessible in a way that her husband and his colleagues and students, who spent their days on the campus, were not. The hostility of the villagers further shaped her psyche, and her art; the process eventually redoubled so the latter fed the former. After the enormous success of "The Lottery," a legend arose in town, almost certainly false, that Jackson had been pelted with stones by schoolchildren one day, then gone home and written the story. The real crisis came near the end of her life, resulting in a period of agoraphobia and psychosis; she wrote her way through it in "We Have Always Lived in the Castle." In that novel, Jackson brilliantly isolates the two aspects in her psyche into two odd, damaged sisters: one hypersensitive and afraid, unable to leave the house, the other a sort of squalid demon prankster who may or may not have murdered the rest of her family for her fragile sister's sake. For me, it is that unique and dreamlike book, rather than "The Lottery," that stands as her masterpiece.

LOGIN SIGN UP Jackson, Shirley Ann First Name: Shirley Ann Last Name: Jackson Category: ScienceMakers Occupation: Biography: Physicist Shirley Ann Jackson was born on August 5, 1946 in Washington, D.C. to George Hiter Jackson and Beatrice Cosby Jackson. When Jackson was a child, her mother would read her the biography of Benjamin Banneker, an African American scientist and mathematician who helped build Washington, D.C., and her father encouraged her interest in science by assisting her with projects for school. The "Space Race" of the late-1950s would also have an impact on Jackson as a child, spurring her interest in scientific investigation. Jackson attended Roosevelt High School in Washington, D.C., where she took accelerated math and science classes. She graduated as valedictorian in 1964, and, encouraged by the assistant principal for boys at her high school, Jackson applied to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). She was among the first African American students to attend the school, and in her undergraduate class she was one of only two women. In 1973, Jackson graduated from MIT with a Ph.D. in theoretical elementary particle physics, the first African American woman to receive a Ph.D. in MIT's history. She worked on her thesis, entitled "The Study of a Multiperpiheral Model with Continued Cross-Channel Unitarity," under the direction of James Young, the first African American tenured full professor in the physics department at MIT. In 1975, the thesis was published in

Despite her numerous works, which include several novels and even a children's novel, she was primarily known for her short story, "The Lottery," which depicts an ancient religious ritual, in which one community member is selected each year to be stoned to death, in a modern, rural American town.

SHIRLEY JACKSON: "Delight in What I Fear" by Paula Guran April 1997 (Originally published by OMNI Online, 1997) "...I have always loved to use fear, to take it and comprehend it and make it work and consolidate a situation where I was afraid and take it whole and work from there...I delight in what I fear." from an unsent letter to poet Howard Nemerov by Shirley Jackson Sometimes the heart of darkness can be found inside a minivan. We're all expected to be multiple personalities these days. Nurturing mom, supportive wife, hard driving on the job and carpool driving off. Or maybe we can create a great souffle while whipping up a new novel. If we've opted for a family we have to somehow be several people at once. My mother-in-law once told me that after she graduated from an Ivy League college and immediately married it never occurred to her, despite her education, to pursue a career. She and her sorority sisters in the fifties were all having babies and the occasional bridge party. "That," she said, "was what we were supposed to do!" Of course nobody told them what to do once the kids went to college. Some of that generation recreated themselves in new careers or fulfilling pursuits. Some re-invented feminism. Others drank a lot. Shirley Jackson was an anomaly in her generation. In the fifties, the same
