The Early Short Fiction of Edith Wharton - A Ten-Volume Collection - Volume 1

This early work by Edith Wharton was originally published in the early 20th century and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. The Early Short Fiction of Edith Wharton Volume 1 is a collection of short stories that includes Kerfol, Mrs. Mansteys View, The Bolted Door, The Dilettante, and The House of the Dead Hand. Edith Wharton was born in New York City in 1862. Whartons first poems were published in Scribners Magazine. In 1891, the same publication printed the first of her many short stories, titled Mrs. Mansteys View. Over the next four decades, they - along with other well-established American publications such as Atlantic Monthly, Century Magazine, Harpers and Lippincotts - regularly published her work.
