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 Journal of the Short Story in English, 58 | Spring 2012 Edith Wharton: A Bibliography 2 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.

  • Addition to Summer Letter
    May 2020 Dear Student, You are enrolled in Advanced Placement English Literature and Composition for the coming school year. Bowling Green High School has offered this course since 1983. I thought that I would tell you a little bit about the course and what will be expected of you. Please share this letter with your parents or guardians. A.P. Literature and Composition is a year-long class that is taught on a college freshman level. This means that we will read college level texts—often from college anthologies—and we will deal with other materials generally taught in college. You should be advised that some of these texts are sophisticated and contain mature themes and/or advanced levels of difficulty. In this class we will concentrate on refining reading, writing, and critical analysis skills, as well as personal reactions to literature. A.P. Literature is not a survey course or a history of literature course so instead of studying English and world literature chronologically, we will be studying a mix of classic and contemporary pieces of fiction from all eras and from diverse cultures. This gives us an opportunity to develop more than a superficial understanding of literary works and their ideas. Writing is at the heart of this A.P. course, so you will write often in journals, in both personal and researched essays, and in creative responses. You will need to revise your writing. I have found that even good students—like you—need to refine, mature, and improve their writing skills. You will have to work diligently at revising major essays.

Specifical­ ly, the direct way of asserting Ernest Frost's quality is to postulate Graham Greene, shorn of clerical masochism, rising to the full limits of his promise. Writing with verve and lyric nervousness of a cauldron of unholy loves in present-day London, Frost sounds the extreme notes that all of us can read in the living scale but can rarely harmonize: the notes of tenderness, of revulsion, of de~pair, of cold clarity, of hope and bewilderment. Frost is on the side of life but he is hard at the core; as a result, his insights and characterizations emanate an oblique beauty of expression which is best appreciated by generous quotation of his theme and variations: WeB, it's curious, seel A sort of deranged reasonableness about people living in cities which are lighted up for the peace, but it isn't really peace, and everyone's still at war within themselves.

With the beginning of World War II many teenage girls took on jobs that were left vacant by men. With these new jobs came the opportunity to gain financial independence. However, teenage girls, along with their mothers, were expected to leave their jobs once soldiers returned from war. Thus, there was a gap between the actual experiences of teenage girls and what they were expected to be—Rosie the Riveters who were willing to become housewives at the end of the war. This gap between actual experiences and societal expectations has lent itself to typifying even fictional girls into either “bad girls” or “good girls.” In this project I take a deeper look at how social discourses—specifically the boom in the wedding industry, a renewed obsession with anything Western related, department store sections catered directly to teenagers, and scrapbook making—greatly affected the coming---of---process for teenage girls.
