In 1921, Edith Wharton became the first woman to win a Pulitzer Prize, earning the award for âThe Age of Innocenceâ. But Wharton also wrote several other novels, as well as poems and short stories that made her not only famous but popular among her contemporaries. âTales of Men and Ghostsâ (1910) consists of ten masterful ghost stories that listed here in chronological order of their original publication dates: âThe Bolted Doorâ, âHis Fatherâs Sonâ, âThe Daunt Dianaâ, âThe Debtâ, âFull Circleâ, âThe Legendâ, âThe Eyesâ, âThe Blond Beastâ, âAfterwardâ and âThe Lettersâ. Despite the title, the men outnumber the ghosts, since only âThe Eyesâ and âAfterwardâ actually call on the supernatural. In only two of the stories are women the central characters, though elsewhere they play important roles. If you have never read Edith Whartonâs fantasy work before, you will be captivated and delighted.
