![]() Ten years ago last spring, I was an editor on the books and arts section of The New Republic when the first Library of America anthology of Shirley Jackson’s work landed on my desk. Jackson on screen: Stacie Passon’s adaptation of We Have Always Lived in the Castle (2019) and Elizabeth Moss as the writer herself in Josephine Decker’s Shirley (2020). In the following guest post, the new volume’s editor, Ruth Franklin, reflects on the shifts in Jackson’s literary reputation, as well as her heightened visibility in popular culture, in the decade since then. This month Library of America publishes Shirley Jackson: Four Novels of the 1940s & 50s, a companion to the first collection of Jackson’s writings released in 2010. ![]() ![]() Ruth Franklin: A decade of Shirley Jackson ![]()
