Edith Wharton: A Bibliography

Virginia Ricard

1 A rapid perusal of the following critical bibliography reveals the paucity of work examining Edith Wharton’s art of the short story as a whole. Most of the articles listed below focus on one or two stories. Barbara White’s Edith Wharton: A Study of the Short Fiction, published in 1991, is still the only book-length study devoted to the subject. Certain more general studies of Wharton’s work—books with a chapter on Wharton and the short story, or books that focus on problems and themes apposite to the articles in this special issue—have also been included.

2 Collections or selections of Wharton’s stories have not been included. Wherever possible, the articles in this issue refer to the Library of America edition of the Collected Stories, volumes 1 and 2, edited by Maureen Howard (2001). When discussing stories that were not included in the Library of America collection, authors refer either to R.W.B. Lewis’s Collected Short Stories of Edith Wharton (1968), to his Selected Short Stories of Edith Wharton (1991), or to Anita Brookner’s two volumes, The Stories of Edith Wharton (1988-1989). Over the past twenty years, a number of selections have grouped Wharton’s stories thematically. Three major themes emerge: New England (e.g. Barbara A. White’s selection, Wharton’s New England: Seven Stories and Ethan Frome, Hanover: UP of New England 1995); New York (e.g. Roxana Robinson’s The New York Stories of Edith Wharton. New York: NYRB Classics, 2007); and, above all, ghosts (e.g. The Ghost-Feeler: Stories of Terror and the Supernatural, and The Demanding Dead: More Stories of Terror and the Supernatural, London: Peter Owen, 1996 and 2007; To Be Read by Candlelight: Two Tales of Suspense, West Huntspill: Parsimony, 2000; The Triumph of Night and Other Tales, North Yorkshire: Tartarus Press, 2008; or, in France, Kerfol et autres histoires de fantômes, Paris: Le Livre de poche, 2011). Other selections reflect different concerns (e.g. Marilyn French’s Roman Fever and Other Stories, London: Virago, 1985; Mary Gordon’s Ethan Frome and Other Short Fiction by Edith Wharton, New York: Bantam, 1987; Candace Waid’s ‘The Muse’s Tragedy,’ and Other Stories, London: Penguin, 1992; Linda Wagner-Martin’s Portable Edith Wharton, New York: Penguin Books, 2003; Cynthia Griffin Wolff’s Roman Fever and Other Stories by Edith Wharton, New York: Collier Books, 1993; or the Dover Edith Wharton, Short Stories, New York: Dover, 1994). A study of the principles of selection and rejection in these collections and anthologies (from, say, William Dean Howells’ choice

of “The Mission of Jane” for Great Modern American Stories, New York: Boni & Liveright, 1921, through Wayne Andrews’ The Best Short Stories of Edith Wharton, New York: Scribner, 1958, to the present day) might serve as a history of the fluctuating reputation of Wharton’s short fiction.
