A previously unpublished short story by Edith Wharton, titled “The Men Who Saved the World,” is being published for the first time more than a century after it was created. The story is drawn from a lost manuscript found in Edith Wharton’s archives held by Yale University. Multiple outlets report that the manuscript has been located and verified in the Yale collections, and that it is now prepared for public release. The story will appear in The Strand, a quarterly magazine known for publishing newly found or previously unknown works by well-known writers. The reporting says this release is scheduled for The Strand’s newest issue, with some coverage describing a first public airing on Friday. Wharton is widely recognized for novels that depict late-19th and early-20th century American society, including “The Age of Innocence,” and she is noted as the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize. Across the accounts, the central points are the story’s long-hidden status, its Yale archive origin, and its publication in The Strand as a major late discovery in Wharton’s body of work.
