Abstract
This dataset documents Edward P. Jones’s consistent focus on Washington D.C. as a setting in his two short story collections. During the Fall semester of 2017, in the graduate course ENGL 5324, my students and I used digital tools and performed close reads to extract actual locations in Washington, D.C. mentioned across Jones’s two collections of short stories. We also verified information by adding zip codes and actual address to landmarks and locations referenced in the stories. These locations help us to chart the movement and locations of characters.
