About this listen

Stories of New York is a collection of five short stories by noted American authors of the late 19th century, published in 1893, which features the first work by Edith Wharton to appear in a bound book. All stories had been previously published in Scribner’s Magazine.

The stories are all set in New York City and concern themselves with various facets of life in Gilded Age New York City—from the highest of high society to the commonest pensioner in less fashionable neighborhoods in boarding houses. The stories are about manners and mores; about the people of various strata of society relating to each other and the world around them.

“Mrs. Manstey’s View” by Edith Wharton

“A Puritan Ingenue” by John S. Wood

“The End of the Beginning” by George A Hibbard

“The Commonest Possible Story” by Bliss Perry

“From Four to Six: A Comedietta” by Annie Eliot
