	Wendy Vaizey's essay -in Literary Potpourri
		Shirley is Brontë's 'condition of England' novel, but structurally it falls into two parts: while the first half is an examination of the humanitarian consequences of technological advances, in the second half a love story emerges and social preoccupations dwindle away.
		Shirley was at the time of the novel a man's name, and although she is not masculine in appearance, Shirley does appear to represent the masculine principle.
		Shirley rescues Caroline from loneliness, and on the point of death Caroline is saved by her mother Mrs Pryor, while Mrs Pryor also offers Caroline the possibility of a future home.

	Shirley by Charlotte Bronte: A searchable online version at The Literature Network
		Shirley seems to be agreed upon as a portrait of Emily.
		I feel that Charlotte, writing much of Shirley as Emily was rapidly dying and then finishing it after her death, took the story in a direction that it would not otherwise have taken.
		Shirley is a good novel though it is not as entertaining in my view as Jane Eyre or Villette.

	DVD: The Great Fire : A Novel $4.00
		Thus, the state of The Novel has come dоwn to this: a modest writer of a certain age with moderate narrative skills, a nice person, is the best we have.
		Again, Shirley clearly is a nice woman and she sells many books, but she's basically one of the mediocre.
		The Great Fire is a romance novel whose classic and somewhat predictable plot line is adorned and partially disguisеd by Shirley Hazzard's skillful writing style and the unfamiliarity of her exotic settings.

	Literary Encyclopedia: Shirley
		Despite the novel's social historical aspects, it is the relationship between Caroline Helstone, an orphan living with her uncle, the dogmatic and prejudiced High Tory Reverend Helstone, and the Anglo-French millowner, Robert Moore, that dominates the first volume of the novel.
		Shirley Keeldar is not introduced until Chapter 11 at the end of Volume 1 and it is a measure of Charlotte Brontë's investment in and enjoyment of this character that the novel bears her name.
		Shirley may be the most social historical of her novels but, like her other novels, it contains structures of imagery and symbolism that convey the workings of a powerful imagination and a depth of feeling that belies her assertion that the novel is as “unromantic as Monday morning”.

		SHIRLEY HAZZARD: Women who tried to do something more with their lives were shunned by the mass I think, the large number of women who felt their own outlet, their only rescue was coming from marriage and domesticity.
		SHIRLEY HAZZARD: Well it was brutal and yes, I really felt I was dying in a way that I had no longer the stimulating days, and I was so far and I had nobody to talk to or share it with, or anyone who supported my view.

	Shirley Jackson - The Lottery (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The novel is generally regarded as Jackson's wittiest novel since it was lauded for its comic yet compassionate treatment of mental disorder.
		By focusing upon a whole neighborhood, rather than upon a single violated protagonist as in her other novels, the novel creates an effective metaphor or microcosm for the tensions inherent in the culture in the postwar period.
		Moreover, whether the protagonist is individual or collective, the novel adumbrates and begins exploration of one of Jackson's primary concerns throughout her career: the dark incomprehensible spot or stain upon the human soul and our continuing blindness and, hence, vulnerability to it.

	John Shirley Book Reviews
		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 navigates the periphery of late 20th century culture with the doggedness of J.G. Ballard and the resolve of a hacker out to crash the mother of all mainframes.

		Shirley Hazzard: He did, long before I ever met him, because I remember in 1947 at Christmas when I was living in Hong Kong with my parents, I asked for a Christmas present, for a new novel of his that has just come out, The Heart of the Matter.
		I was 16 at the time, and I had read novels of Graham's before, because from the time I was about 12 or so I was aware of his existence as a writer, especially because there were already films of his books that he called entertainment.
		Shirley Hazzard: I'm always reading in the past and I think most passionate readers are like that, Conrad for example, and some works that stay in your mind and that you visit often.

	The Great Fire by Shirley Hazzard - reviews, links and opinions, book club reading suggestions
		From the title, I expected a novel filled with war, crisis and passion, but The Great Fire, is really an elegant old fashioned love story set in the postwar years in the Far East, and the heat from the fires of the recent war only simmer in the memories of the characters.
		The novel becomes a hero's desperate attempt to rescue the helpless maiden from her dire fate in the cultural backwater at the end of the world.
		Shirley Hazzard is a fine, at times a superb, writer, and even if ''The Great Fire'' does not live up to our expectations, it has passages that shine with a hard, steady, gemlike flame.

	Old-World Style - Shirley Hazzard's long-awaited novel. By Judith Shulevitz

		He arrives in Hiroshima having finished another tour of duty, a trip through China to record the last days of ancient cultures being swept away by modernization and war, and finds himself subject to the authority of some very ambitious and ill-bred New Zealanders who run the base at which he is billeted.
		It is the central trope of the novel.

	Literary Encyclopedia: Shirley Jackson
		Indeed, her relationships with the other (real) women in the novel suggest that Natalie’s reluctance to enter adulthood is as significant from a feminist perspective as from a psychological one.
		The novel again provides a showcase for Jackson’s interest in psychology and mental illness: it is both a pastiche of the psychiatric case studies which were to become so popular during the 1950s and a shrewd fictionalisation of a famous real-life case.
		The novel had a long and difficult gestation period (and was written whilst Jackson was in a state of some considerable psychological and physical distress herself) but it is nevertheless the work of a writer operating at the very peak of her powers, a book which has scenes of both great tenderness and chilling horror.

	Parallel lines of a life and art / Shirley Hazzard insists her new novel is fiction, or most of it is
		Her last novel, "The Transit of Venus," which won the National Book Critics Circle Award, was published 23 years ago.
		In looking back, Hazzard thinks one of the difficulties in writing her novel was that the story closely paralleled traumatic events in her own early life.
		Hazzard, 72, emphasized that "The Great Fire" was fiction, but she admitted that the novel's protagonist, Maj. Aldred Leith, a World War II hero, was based on a man she fell in love with more than a half-century ago.

	Amazon.com: Shirley (Modern Library): Books: Charlotte Bronte (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		"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.
		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" 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.

		'Shirley' did not grab my attention from the outset as it is densely written; each sentence must be carefully read, not skimmed over.
		As you can read from the synopsis on the cover, the novel is set in a fragile social and economic situation, but the novel concerns so much more than Luddite riots.
		But there is no mistaking that this is a work of Charlotte Brontë: for, although it is not autobiographical, the character of Shirley is Charlotte Brontë's perception of her own sister, Emily.

	Walking wounded / Shirley Hazzard's novel tracks two friends suffering the aftershocks of World War II
		Since she left her clerical position at the United Nations in New York 40 years ago, Shirley Hazzard has produced a handful of exquisite books about mid- 20th century men and women striving for human connections in a world shattered by war.
		Her fiction is infused with an uncommonly deep understanding of international affairs and the tragic consequences of the political miscalculations and mishandlings that occurred after both world wars.
		The novel intertwines Leith's story with hapless Exley's, but Leith's is far more engaging.

		Gorgeously written and intricately constructed, Hazzard’s novel is a story of place: Sydney, London, New York, Stockholm; of time: from the fifties to the eighties; and above all, of women and men in their passage through the displacements and absurdities of modern life.
		Shirley Hazzard is Australian by birth, but her extensive life experiences make her a wise world citizen.
		In this wonderful novel, Hazzard follows the love life, non-love life, adultery and non-adultery to illustrate the depth of human emotion.
