From my experience researching under-documented authors, Wharton requires triangulation rather than reliance on criticism alone. I have seen his novels, interviews, and autobiographical writings function as primary critical material. I would recommend starting with his own memoirs, then tracing reviews, correspondence, and military records linked to Albert du Aime. Dissertation databases and archival finding aids often reveal unpublished work that can sustain a full monograph.
