The Early Short Fiction of Edith Wharton, Part 2

by Edith Wharton from 1899–1904

About

The second part of Wharton's early stories includes work from the turn of the century and slightly later, when her style was fully formed. 'The Other Two,' 'Pomegranate Seed,' and 'The Eyes' — some stories touching the supernatural, all of them penetrating social surfaces with uncomfortable precision. The gothic stories are particularly effective as group readings, combining Wharton's social precision with genuine supernatural menace.
