	The Life of James Shirley (1596-1666)
		Shirley is a comedian of wit, and may be thought of as a precursor to the great age of Restoration comedy; the dialogues of his plays are very witty, full of double entendre and satire of contemporary modes of living.
		Shirley was an admirer of Beaumont and Fletcher, and their influence is apparent in Shirley's comedies and tragicomedies, like Hyde Park (1632), The Gamester (1633), and The Sisters (1642).
		Shirley wrote 36 plays between 1625 and the closing of the theatres in 1642; they establish him as a leading dramatist of the Caroline stage.

	John Shirley Book Reviews
		Immediate and grotesque, "New Noir" is Shirley's take on the real world, consisting of dark, dystopian visions culled from urban myth and newspaper headlines.
		Shirley's vision is one that may take a couple readings to fully "get"; even when he's exploring familar subjects, Shirley's success is rooted in the way he slyly incorporates the periphery of contemporary culture -- and all of its ugly excess -- into his narrative focus.
		Shirley's hyperkinetic vision of a fractured, anarchic United States steeped in the mythology of the late 20th century is terrific.

	Shirley Jackson
		Shirley Jackson is a contradiction, or perhaps just the other side of the idea of an author who fails to make any impression during their lifetime, and is only later discovered by a new generation.
		To say Shirley Jackson is a psychological novelist, and that the horror in her stories comes from the increasingly skewed perceptions of her protagonists, fails to suggest the sheer power these vision have.
		Shirley Jackson's final novel, Come Along With Me, was unfinished at the time of her heart attack in 1965.

	Salon Monstrous acts and little murders
		Shirley Jackson was married to Stanley Edgar Hyman, a literary critic who taught at the college.
		This was the Shirley Jackson that the town feared, resented and, depending on whose version you believe, occasionally persecuted.
		The other half of Jackson was the expulsive iconoclast, brought out of her shell by marriage to Hyman — himself a garrulous egoist very much in the tradition of Jewish '50's New York intellectuals — and by the visceral shock of mothering a quartet of noisy, demanding babies.

	Amazon.com: Books: Shirley (Oxford World's Classics)
		"Shirley" may, in the end, be the name chosen for the novel, not because she is its main character, but because she symbolizes and embodies the social, political, gender, and ecological complexities and conundrums present throughout the novel.
		The gender-fueled critique in "Shirley" extends even to the characters' notions of the divine - the male religious authorities are contrasted with the oracular and ancient image of the feminine sibyl.
		"Shirley follows Jane Eyre as a new exemplar--but so much a forerunner of the feminist of the later twentieth century that it is hard to believe in her actual existence in 1811-12.

		Shirley is talented with words, and is able to take a queasy tale of squishy, nasty things and inject just enough humor into it to make it go down sweet.
