Abstract
In this study, the author seeks to dispel the fallacious notion that Shirley Jackson's 1959 novel, The Haunting of Hill House, is simply a shallow gothic ghost story. Through a comprehensive analysis of both the novel itself and the author's notes on her manuscript, an attempt is made to characterize Hill House as a work that systematically subverts not only the stylistic, but also the linguistic and ideological conventions guarded by the dominant social order.
