Metro motion picture production, 1919. The Pilgrim's Progress. Adapted to a motion picture play by Mary E. Wilkins and William Dinwiddie. New York, 1915. Red Robin, A New England Drama. Copyrighted in 1892 and 1893. Development of the American Short Story, 317-23 "On the Terminal Moraine of New England Puritanism" in Side-Lights on American Literature, 1922 Also, I assume that all stories were published in periodicals before they were collected into a book. So, where were these first published? From "A New England Nun" 1891: "A Wayfaring Couple" 1885 and "A Pot of Gold" From "Young Lucretia" 1892: "Seventoe's Ghost", "A Parsnip Stew" 1889, and "A Sweet-Grass Basket" From "Edgewater People" 1918: "Sarah Edgewater", "The Old Man of the Field", and "The Flowering Bush" Then, "Eglantina" was published differently in "The Givers" and "The Fair Lavinia". The version in "The Fair Lavinia" matches best with the pre-collected version in Harper's Monthly of August, 1902. What other versions are about?
