In fact, as Darryl Hattenhauer argues here, Jackson was one of the few writers to anticipate the transition from modernism to postmodernism, and therefore ranks among the most significant writers of her time. The first comprehensive study of all of Jackson's fiction, Shirley Jackson's American Gothic offers readers the chance not only to rediscover her work, but also to see how and why a major American writer was passed over for inclusion in the canon of American literature.Horror tales, AmericanHistory and criticismGothic revival (Literature)United StatesHorror tales, AmericanHistory and criticism.Gothic revival (Literature)813/.54Hattenhauer Darryl1650147MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910829140203321Shirley Jackson's American gothic3999352UNINA
