The metaphor of life as prison obsessed Edith Wharton, and,
consequently, the theme of imprisonment appears in most of her 86
short stories. In the last several decades, critical studies of
Wharton's fiction have focused on this theme of imprisonment, but
invariably it is related to biographical considerations. This
study, however, is not concerned with such insights and influences;
rather, it concentrates on Wharton's skill as a craftsman in
consciously and carefully fitting her narrative techniques to the
imprisonment theme. Representative tales from Wharton's early
period (1891-1904), her major phase (1905-1919), and her later
years (1926-1937) have been examined and divided into four
categories: individuals trapped by love and marriage, men and women
imprisoned by the dictates of society, human beings victimized by
the demands of art and morality, and persons paralyzed by fear of
the supernatural.
