Edith Wharton 
Here and Beyond 

This early work by Edith Wharton was originally published in 1926 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. ’Here and Beyond’ is a collection of short stories that includes ’Miss Mary Pask’, ’The Young Gentlemen., ’Bewitched’, ’The Seed of Faith’, ’The Temperate Zone’ and ’Velvet Ear-Pads’. 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.
