Summary too long, lead needs fixing to summarize story details better. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Guroadrunner (talkcontribs)

i always thought of the "white heron" to symbolize Sylvia's virginity and purity, if you read some of the parts, it could be seen as overtly sexual (like her climbing the tree). the hunter is this guy trying to take her innocence away or something...i dont know, maybe im just rambling lol. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 164.107.217.34 (talk) 05:40, 24 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

First published

edit

We now say:

"First published by Houghton, Mifflin and Company in 1886, it was soon collected as the title story in Jewett's anthology A White Heron and Other Stories."

The collection (not anthology) was published by HM in 1886. It's listed under Fiction--Humor in "Books of the Month", The Dial, Oct 86, 137ff; "18[?]mo, pp. 254. Gilt top. Houghton, Mifflin & Co. $1.25". If HM published the story earlier, that needs clear statement here. --P64 (talk) 16:56, 13 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
