The collection includes seven stories: "The Shadowy Third," "Dare's Gift," "The Past," "Whispering Leaves," "A Point in Morals," "The Difference," and "Jordan's End." All of the stories, except for "Jordan's End," were originally published in magazines, such as Harper’s Magazine, Scribner’s Magazine, and Good Housekeeping. All seven stories from The Shadowy Third and Other Stories are included in Richard K. Meeker's The Collected Stories of Ellen Glasgow (1963), a posthumously-published collection of all of Glasgow's short stories. Meeker arranged these stories based on their initial magazine publications. The stories included in The Shadowy Third and Other Stories are also included in this collection without revision from the original collection. Meeker frames The Collected Stories of Ellen Glasgow with an editor's preface and introduction, which discusses sociocultural context as it relates to the time period in which Glasgow wrote her stories.
