Biographical History
Jean Stafford was an American author, best known for her realistic and sublimely crafted short stories. Much of her fiction invoked classical literary themes, but viewed them through the perspective of an alienated, 20th century woman. Many of her stories reflected her own tumultuous, often melodramatic personal life.
Jean Stafford (1915-1979) was a novelist and short story writer who earned national acclaim when her first book, Boston Adventure, became a best-seller. Her Collected Short Stories, originally published in The New Yorker, won her the Pulitzer Prize for fiction in 1970. Born in Covina, California, Stafford moved to Colorado at the age of five. She graduated with a BA and MA from the University of Colorado in 1936. She spent most of her adult life on the East Coast where she also wrote articles, children's books, and a non-fiction book on an interview with Marguerite C. Oswald, mother of Lee Harvey Oswald. She was a frequent contributor to The New Yorker, Harper's Bazaar, and the Sewanee Review. Over the course of her career, Stafford won numerous grants and fellowships as well as the O. Henry Prize for her short story, In The Zoo. Stafford was married to poet Robert Lowell, then to photographer Oliver Jensen, and finally to journalist A.J. Liebling.
