Wharton Filmography. Collected Short Stories of Edith Wharton, Vols. 1 and 2The following presents the stories in the order listed in R. W. B. Lewis's Collected Short Stories of Edith Wharton, Vols. 1 and 2. Barbara White writes that Wharton published 85 stories (see p. xiii and p. 77) during her career ( she leaves out "Les Metteurs en Scene," which is a version of "The Introducers"); Lewis states that Wharton wrote 86 stories during her lifetime (vii) but does not include "Bunner Sisters" in this set, since he apparently considers it a novella. It was published in Xingu (1916) and thus is included here. This list includes all the stories, even those not available online.
