The Henry James Page
( 1843-1916 )
Major Works
James' major works may be classified as follows: novels, stories, plays, criticism, autobiography, and travel writings, and so (more or less) have they been classified in the Library of America Henry James, probably to be the most accessible collection of James when the work is finished. Otherwise, James' novels and stories are available in Oxford World's Classics and Penguin editions. Several novels, a collection of tales, and The Turn of the Screw are also available as Norton Critical Editions.
