Hangsaman (1951) is a novel by Shirley Jackson, a bildungsroman about a college freshman named Natalie Waite attending a Bennington-like liberal arts school.
The novel was partially inspired by the story of Paula Jean Welden's disappearance in 1946, and includes satire of the 1950s university and psychological elements.
The title comes from an old folk ballad.
