Author Biography

Edith Wharton was born in New York City in 1862. Wharton’s first poems were published in Scribner’s Magazine. In 1891, the same publication printed the first of her many short stories, titled Mrs. Manstey’s View. Over the next four decades, they — along with other well-established American publications such as Atlantic Monthly, Century Magazine, Harper’s and Lippincott’s — regularly published her work.
